Abstract

The fission of U, Au, Te, Ag, Se, Cu and Cr induced by photons with a maximum energy of 580 MeV has been investigated using mica and glass track detectors in a sandwich configuration.

Cross sections for U, Au, Te and Ag fission have been obtained which are in fair agreement with existing data for charged-particle induced fission, but are substantially lower than previous photofission results, obtained by other authors for Te and Ag targets.
