RANGE AND KINETIC ENERGY DISPERSION OF U$sup 233$ FISSION FRAGMENTS

The range distribution of U/sup 233/ fission fragments (Sr/sup 91-92/, Ce/sup 143/) in various gases is studied. The dependence of the range dispersion on the nature of the gas wse established. From the range dispersion the kineticenergy dispersion due only to fission processes was determined. The results are compared with available experimental dath and Fong's statistical theory. (auth)
