Abstract

Fission product yield studies in the reaction of 73,4 and 84.2 MeV12C with209Bi have been carried out using gamma-ray spectrometry. The cross sections for the production of fission products have been determined. The yield distribution of fission products is found to be symmetric and broad with FWHM around 25 mass units and peak near mass 107.7 and 107.0. The average number of neutrons emitted per fission have been found to be around 5.5 at 73.4 MeV and 7.1 at 84.2 MeV, respectively.
