The yields of various fission products in the neutron-induced fission of 232Th
have been determined a using recoil catcher and off-line gamma-ray
spectrometric technique with flux-averaged energies of 5.42, 7.75, and
10.09 MeV. The neutrons were generated using the 7Li(p,n)
reaction at the BARC-TIFR [Bhabha Atomic Research Centre–Tata Institute
of Fundamental Research] Pelletron facility, Mumbai, India. The fission
product–yield data in the 10.09-MeV neutron-induced fission of 232Th are determined for the first time. The yields of the different fission products in the neutroninduced fission of 232Th
with flux-averaged energies of 5.42 and 7.75 MeV from the present work
have been compared with similar data of comparable neutron energy from
the literature and are found to be in good agreement. The effect of
nuclear structure on fission product yields as a function of neutron
energy has been examined. |
