Angular correlations in the prompt neutron emission in spontaneous fission of 252Cf.

An experiment aiming at the detailed investigation of angular correlations in the neutron emission from spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf has been performed at IPHC Strasbourg using the angle-sensitive double ionization chamber CODIS for measuring fission fragments and a set of 60 DEMON scintillator counters for neutron detection. The main aim of the experiment is to search for an anisotropy of neutron emission in the center-of-mass system of the fragments. The present status of the data analysis and the full Monte-Carlo simulation of the experiment are reported in the present paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
