Abstract
High resolution gamma-gamma and gamma-gamma-gamma coincidences in the spontaneous fission of Cf-252 were measured. Relative yields and neutr on multiplicities from zero up to 10 were extracted directly for the f irst time in fission for the Zr-Ce and Mo-Ba correlated fragment pairs . The 0, 8, and the new 10 neutron emission yields for Mo-Ba are signi ficantly larger than those reported previously for total Cf-252 sponta neous fission. Our results demonstrate that the use of this high resol ution gamma-gamma-gamma coincidence technique can provide important, p reviously inaccessible data on fission.
