“…Similarly yields of fission fragments in the excitation energy range of the GDR region due to electromagnetic fission in inverse kinematics [52][53][54] are available for neutron-deficient lighter actinides such as 214-223 Ac, 220-229 Th, 224-232 Pa and 231-234 U. On the other hand, yields of fission products in the bremsstrahlung-induced fission of actinides are available in a broad energy range for a limited number of actinides including 232 Th [55][56][57][58][59][60], 235,238 U [61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] and 240,242,244 Pu [75][76][77][78]. Most of the yield data on fission products available in the 9 MeV to several GeV bremsstrahlung-induced fission of 232 Th [55][56][57][58][59] and 235,238 U [61][62][63][64][65][66][67] are based on radiochemical separation and beta counting or γ -ray spectrometric techniques.…”

“…Fitting the mass distribution given in [15] by three gaussians allows the evaluation of the contributions from the symmetric and asymmetric fission modes. The three gaussians were centered on masses 100, 120 and 140 according to the prescriptions taken from [16]. The obtained ratios gsym/Ytot and the fit parameters are given in Table 1.…”

Inclusive and coincident spectra of alpha particles and fission fragments were measured for the 232Th+~2C (85 MeV) reaction to study the influence of the excitation energy and the angular momentum on the fission of the compound nucleus and to separate different alpha particle emission mechanisms. At backward angles c~ emission can be accounted for by the evaporation processes. At forward angles the most important contribution is given by the break-up fusion process. Mass distributions for compound nuclei 24'~Cm (E* = 58 MeV, ff coincidences), and 24~ (E* = 37 MeV, ffc~ coincidences) were obtained. In the case of 24~ mass distribution has a shape different from those obtained in light ion reactions at the same excitation energy, indicating the strong influence of the entrance channel. The dependence of the mass distribution shape on the e particle energy is also examined.

“…In laboratory experiments using thermal neutrons [18], [20], for instance, it is usually found that the total kinetic energy (TKE) of the fragments that result from the fission of either U 235 or P u 239 is 20-60Mev less than the Q-value of the reaction predicted by the quantity ∆mc 2 . It is typically assumed that the difference between the Q-value and the TKE of the fragments is lost into unobservable effects, such as additional excitation energy of the fragments.…”

Fundamental Disagreement of Wave Mechanics with Relativity

Abstract:A number of well-known difficulties in physics resulted from merging the theory of relativity with the Compton-de Broglie wave mechanics. Two such problems were the failure of Dirac's relativistic wave equation to predict the correct velocity of the electron, and the fact that the measured yield from nuclear fission was found to be substantially less than the theoretical yield. It is shown that the origin of these and other problems stem from the inconsistency of the relativistic mass-energy equivalence principle with the fundamental assumptions of wave mechanics. An alternative view of the concept of mass-energy equivalence that results in a very good agreement between theory and experiment is demonstrated. The conclusions of this paper will be quite important for ongoing research, such as the current problem of the neutrino's mass.
