Measurement of fragment mass distributions in neutron-induced fission reactions at intermediate energies

Fragment mass distributions from neutron-induced fission of /sup 232/Th and /sup 238/U have been measured at quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam of the Louvain-la-Neuve cyclotron facility CYCLONE. The measurements have been carried out making use of a multi-section Frisch-gridded ionization chamber. The measurement technique as well as the data processing is described. Preliminary data on primary fragment mass yields are given for an incident neutron energy of 32.8 MeV.
