Description

In previous work, the measurement by the 2E technique of the average prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of the mass of the fragments from 235U(nth, f), under the hypothesis that the fragments lose kinetic energy only due to the drop of mass by neutron emission without recoil effect on the emitter fragment, was simulated. In the present work, recoil is added to the simulation algorithm. As far as the average prompt neutron multiplicity is concerned, the results of the present simulation are similar with the previous work results. However, some noticeable differences appear in the distributions of the yield, the total kinetic energy, and the standard deviations of the distribution of the total kinetic energy.
