Measurement of the prompt fission $$gamma$$-rays from slow neutron-induced fission of $$^{235}$$U with STEFF

Wright, T.*; Harada, Hideo   ; Kimura, Atsushi   ; 121 of others*

The average energy and multiplicity of prompt $$gamma$$-rays from slow neutron-induced fission of $$^{235}$$U have been measured using the STEFF spectrometer at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF. The individual responses from 11 NaI scintillators were corrected for multiple $$gamma$$-ray interactions, prompt fission neutrons and background counts before being deconvolved to estimate the emitted spectrum of prompt fission $$gamma$$-rays. The results give an average $$gamma$$-ray energy $$bar{E}_{gamma}$$ of 1.71(5) MeV and multiplicity $$bar{nu}_{gamma}$$ of 2.66(18) considering $$gamma$$-rays emitted within the energy range from 0.8 to 6.8 MeV. The n_TOF data has a slightly larger $$bar{E}_{gamma}$$ and smaller $$bar{nu}_{gamma}$$ than other recent measurements, however the product of the two is in agreement within the quoted uncertainties.
