Los Alamos National Laboratory Fission Basis

Abstract

This report is an overview of two main publications that provide a comprehensive review of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Fission Basis. The first is the experimental paper, “Fission Product Data Measured at Los Alamos for Fission Spectrum and Thermal Neutrons on 239Pu,235U, 238U,” [Selby, H. D., et al., Nucl. Data Sheets, Vol. 111 2010, pp. 2891–2922] and the second is the theoretical paper, “Fission Product Yields from Fission Spectrum n+239Pu for ENDF=B-VII.1,” [Chadwick, M. B., et al., Nucl. Data Sheets, Vol. 111, 2010, pp. 2923–2964].

A new approach for indirect capture measurements: The DICER neutron transmission station at LANSCE

“…The development of the Device for Indirect Capture Experiments on Radionuclides (DICER) was based on this technique and was developed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). Many radionuclides relevant to radiochemical diagnostics, nuclear forensics, nuclear astrophysics [7][8][9] are expected to be studied at DICER. Finally, DICER is designed to study small samples (~10 μg, HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics vol.…”
