Abstract

High resolution measurements of light charged particles (LCP) emitted in thermal neutron-induced fission of 252Cf ∗ (E=6.2MeV) have been performed with the recoil mass-separator LOHENGRIN. For this compound nuclear system emission yields of LCPs, their mean kinetic energies and widths have been obtained for 8 isotopes with nuclear charges Z2. For 13 further isotopes the emission yields were estimated on the basis of systematics on their kinetic energy distributions. 34Al and 36Si emission has been observed for the first time in thermal neutron-induced fission.
