| Abstract: | The multiplication factor for chain reactions in a nuclear reactor depends essentially on the number of secondary neutrons emitted during fission, and this is determined completely by the excitation energy of the fragments. Therefore, calculation of the excitation energy of the fragments as a function of the atomic number Z and the atomic weight A of the fissioning nucleus is of considerable interest in atomic energy.In the work it was shown that the excitation energy of the fragments may be found by solving a system of equations for the deformation parameters of the fragments and the distance between them. The basic excitation energies of the fragments were found for some nuclei. An investigation was made of the dependence of the excitation energy on Z and A of the fissioning nucleus.In conclusion, the author would like to thank V. M. Galitskii and V. M. Strutinskii for an interesting discussion and I. G. Krutikova for carrying out the numerical calculations. |
