Measurements of Neutron-Induced Fission Cross Sections of 205Tl, 204, 206, 207, 208Pb, and 209Bi using Quasi-Monoenergetic Neutrons in the Energy Range 35 - 174 MeV

Cross sections for neutron‐induced fission of 205Tl, 204, 206, 207, 208Pb, and 209Bi were measured in the energy range from 35 MeV to 174 MeV. The experiments were done at the neutron beam facility of The Svedberg Laboratory, using a multi‐section Frisch‐gridded ionization chamber for detection of the fission fragments. The neutron‐induced fission cross section of 238U was employed as a reference. The results of the measurements are compared with existing experimental data.
