Passing mass separated recoil fission particles through a AE Si-surface barrier detector the nuclear charge distributions of fission products were measured in the mass chains 79 to 100. The average nuclear charge as well as the second, third, and fourth moment of the nuclear charge distribution reveal odd-even and shell effects.NUCLEAR REACTION, FISSION U(n, h, f), measured nuclear charge distribution of A = 79 to A =100, deduced element and isotone yields, proton and neutron odd-even effect.

The nuclear charge distribution of fission products from 235 U(w th ,/) is determined for the isobaric chains 92 to 100. The results were obtained from the energy loss of monoisobaric and monoenergetic fission products in a AE Si surface-barrier detector. The odd-even effect is found also in the mass chains reported here for the first time, revealing an approximately sinusoidal variation of the charge distribution width with mass.The fission products separated by "LOHENtheir nuclear charge; therefore, the method is in-GRIN" 1 according to mass and kinetic energy prodependent of any chemical or decay properties vide a unique means to measure the nuclear of the selected fission products. The efficiency charge distribution in fission, which is only known of this detector does not depend on the nuclear incompletely. The energy loss of these separated charge. With an 8-Lim-thick AE silicon detector fission products in a AE detector depends only on the achieved nuclear-charge resolving power Z/ TABLE I.
