Abstract
Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross sections for Pb-208, Bi- 209, and U-238 have been performed in the 70-160 MeV energy region at the neutron beam facility at the The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala us ing the Li-7(p,n) reaction as neutron source. The fission fragments we re detected by thin-film breakdown counters. The neutron flux was meas ured relative to the n-p scattering cross section with a proton-recoil spectrometer. The results are compared with calculations and with ear lier reported experimental data.
