Abstract

Experimental results for the cumulative yields of delayed neutron precursors (87Br, 88Br, 89Br, 91Br, 93Kr, 94Rb, 95Rb, 137I, 138I, 139I and 140I) were obtained for the neutron-induced fission of 237Np and 238U. For the first time a detailed energy dependence of cumulative yields of delayed neutron precursors was obtained for a wide range (0.5–5 MeV) of fissioning system excitation energies. The results obtained were compared with analogous data available in the literature.
