Abstract

The periods and absolute yields of delayed neutrons emitted following the spontaneous fission of Cf252 have been measured. Delayed-neutron periods of τ12=0.5±0.4, 2.0±0.4, and 20.0±0.5 sec with respective absolute yields of 0.35, 0.29, and 0.22% were found. The experimental results have been correlated with delayed-neutron emission from other fission processes and with existing precursor systematics.
