Abstract

A series of measurements of neutron induced fission cross section of

various TRU isotopes have been performed at the CERN n_TOF spallation

neutron facility, in the energy range from thermal to nearly 250 MeV.

The experimental apparatus consists in a fast ionization chamber (FIC),

used as a fission fragment detector with a high efficiency. Good

discrimination between alphas and fission fragments can be obtained with

a simple amplitude threshold. In order to allow the monitoring of the

neutron beam and to extract the n_TOF neutron flux, the well known cross

section of the ²³⁵U(n,f) reaction, considered as a fission

standard, has been used. Preliminary results for the cross section are

shown for some selected isotopes such as ²³⁵U, ²³³U and ²⁴⁵Cm in the energy range from 0.050 eV to about 2 MeV.
