Abstract
The various experimental methods used in studying spontaneous and low- energy nuclear fission in order to determine the fragment kinetic ener gy, mass, charge, excitation energy, and spin are reviewed. Special at tention is paid to the description of a new approach to the study of f ission based on the spectrometry of multiple prompt fission gamma rays . Some new data on the spontaneous fission of Cf-252 Obtained using th is approach are presented. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
