Abstract
Some of the characteristics of neutron and gamma emission in fission are reviewed.Recent measurements of the average number of neutrons as a function of fragment masses m and total kinetic energy E. show distinctive differences with previous ones.The reasons for these discrepancies are analyzed and it is shown that, at present, the use of large neutron detectors yields safer results than that of small neutron detectors.Hie energy necessary for the emission of one additional •* Work performed under the auspices of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.
