The Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum of ²³⁵U for E_inc 0.7-5.0 MeV

Abstract

The Chi-Nu experiment aims to accurately measure the prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS) for the major actinides. At the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), fission can be induced using the white neutron source. Using a two arm time of flight (T.O.F) technique; Chi-Nu presents a preliminary result of the low energy component of the 235 U PFNS measured using an array of 22-Lithium glass scintillators.
