Abstract

Cumulative yields of short-lived xenon isotopes137,138,139Xe have been determined in the spontaneous fission of252Cf, using a fast radiochemical separation method followed by gamma spectrometry. Xenon-137 yield is reported for the first time. The measured cumulative yields are converted to chain yields assuming normal charge distribution systematics for comparision with the literature data.
