Abstract

A model for the rate at which various primary fission products stop in the gas of the source chamber of a gas jet has been constructed. It describes the absorption of fission fragments in Al foils placed between the235U deposit and the gas chamber as well as the penetration of fragments through the gas. The model is based on reported ranges (mean values as a function of A and the dispersion in ranges) and measured activities of Kr and Xe.
