| Abstract | Fission characteristics of the delayed-fission decay mode in light americium nuclei have been investigated. Total kinetic energy and mass-yield distributions were measured for 232 Am and for 234 Am, and delayed-fission probabilities of 6.9 x 10-4 and 6.6 x 10-5 , respectively, were determined. The total kinetic energy and the asymmetric mass-yield distributions are typical of fission of mid-range actinides. No discernible influence of the anomalous triple-peaked mass division characteristic of the thorium-radium regio11. was detected. Measurements of the time correlation between the electron-capture x rays and the subsequent fission confirm that the observed fissions arise frQm the electron-capture delayed-fission mechanism. |
