Abstract
Photofission cross sections for , and have been measured in the energy range from 3.25 to 5.75 MeV and for and at 3.5 MeV. The cross sections change by over seven orders of magnitude for this energy range. Cross section shapes are significantly different for different isotopes indicating a strong sensitivity to fission barrier parameters.
