Abstract

Simulated (n,f) cross sections for En = 0.5 to 6 MeV are estimated from fission probabilities obtained in (3He,df) and (3He,tf) studies. Cross sections are presented for 34 isotopes of protactinium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, and einsteinium. Results are compared to direct (n,f) measurements for five cases.
