Abstract

Independent isomeric yield ratios (IR) of 128,130,132Sb, 131,133Te, 132,134I, 135Xe and 138Cs in the epi-cadmium neutron-induced fission of 245Cm have been measured for the first time by using an off-line gamma-ray spectrometric technique. The average energy of the epi-cadmium neutron spectrum (<E n >) is 1.9 MeV. From the IR values, root mean square fragment angular momenta (J RMS) were deduced by using the spin dependent statistical model analysis. The IR and JRMS values of the fission products from the present work were compared with the literature data in the thermal neutron-induced fission of 245Cm to examine the role of excitation energy. Effect of nuclear structure on J RMS value was also examined.

Keywords: 245Cm(n, f) reaction; <E n > = 1.9 MeV; independent isomeric yield ratios; off-line γ-ray spectrometry; fragment angular momenta; effects of excitation energy and nuclear structure
