Abstract
Twenty-eight absolute fission yields totalling 78% of the heavy and 16% of the light fragments have been determined using the mass spectrometer and isotope dilution techniques. The precision of the values obtained is in most cases better than 2% and the absolute accuracy is estimated to be about 3%. Fine structure in the mass–yield curve is discussed in terms of structural preference and various chain branching mechanisms.Keywords
