Neutron- and proton-induced fission cross-sections of separated isotopes of tungsten (182W, 183W, 184W, and 186W) and natural tungsten relative to 209Bi have been measured in the incident nucleon energy region 50-200 MeV using fission…

Fragment mass distributions from fission of excited compound nucleus $^{178}$Pt have been deduced from the measured fragment velocities. The $^{178}$Pt nucleus was created at the JAEA tandem facility in a complete fusion reaction $^{36}$Ar…

Prompt fission neutron spectra produced up to 20 MeV. Simultaneous analysis of measured and calculated data for 233U(n, F), 235U(n, F) and 239Pu(n, F) maintains stronger justification for the predicted PFNS of 233U(n, F). For the latter the…
