Abstrakt

The neutron-induced fission cross section of U234 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility relative to the standard fission cross section of U235 from 20 keV to 1.4 MeV and of U238

from 1.4 to 200 MeV. A fast ionization chamber (FIC) was used as a

fission fragment detector with a detection efficiency of no less than

97%. The high instantaneous flux and the low background characterizing

the n_TOF facility resulted in wide-energy-range data (0.02 to 200 MeV),

with high energy resolution, high statistics, and systematic

uncertainties bellow 3%. Previous investigations around the energy of

the fission threshold revealed structures attributed to β-vibrational

levels, which have been confirmed by the present measurements.

Theoretical calculations have been performed, employing the talys code with model parameters tuned to fairly reproduce the experimental data.
