The Distribution in Energy of the Fragments from Uranium Fission

Abstract

The ionization produced by the fragments from uranium fission was measured. The number-energy curve shows two peaks corresponding to 65 and 98 Mev. The ionization produced by the two fragments simultaneously was measured by using a thin foil coated with U. The number-energy curve has one peak at 159 Mev and a half-width of 30 Mev.
