“…From each track fit, a number of track parameters can be extracted including the start and end positions, polar and azimuthal angles, peak ionization value and location, length, and charge. In Figure 5, a plot of track length versus track energy shows how a common parameter space is used to differentiate types of ionizing radiation [4]. Fission fragments are shorter and more energetic while alpha particles travel farther and deposit less energy.…”

“…The fissionTPC has the ability to perform three-dimensional reconstruction of ionizing radiation in the detector volume. By leveraging this three-dimensional tracking ability, the fissionTPC has the capability to explore cross section systematics not accessible by other fission detection methods [4]. Concurrently with cross section measurements, fission fragment angular distributions and linear momentum transfer from the incident neutron to the target nucleus are measured.…”

“…Fission fragments also gain additional kinetic energy in the direction of the neutron flight path. Consequently, more fission events are directed downstream of the target and fewer fission fragments are detected in the upstream volume, thus affecting the detector efficiency as a function of neutron energy in any cross section measurement [4]. Other fission observables such as fragment energies and masses must also take this kinematic boost into account [12].…”

The Neutron Induced Fission Fragment Tracking Experiment (NIFFTE) collaboration has performed measurements with a fission time projection chamber (fissionTPC) to study the fission process by reconstructing full three-dimensional tracks of fission fragments and other ionizing radiation. The amount of linear momentum imparted to the fissioning nucleus by the incident neutron can be inferred by measuring the opening angle between the fission fragments. Using this measured linear momentum, fission fragment angular distributions can be converted to the center-of-mass frame for anisotropy measurements. Angular anisotropy is an important experimental observable for understanding the quantum mechanical state of the fissioning nucleus and vital to determining detection efficiency for cross section measurements. Neutron linear momentum transfer to fissioning 235 U, 238 U, and 239 Pu and fission fragment angular anisotropy of 235 U and 238 U as a function of neutron energies in the range 130 keV-250 MeV are presented.
