Abstract
A spectrometer has been designed and built to investigate the dynamics of spontaneous and ion-induced fission processes. It consists of 8 ne utron detectors surrounding a low mass scattering chamber containing t he fussionable targets and two fission fragment telescopes. The spectr ometer measures neutron spectra, and energy and angular correlations o f neutrons, as well as kinetic energy, mass, and relative angle of fis sion fragments. A Cf-252 fission reference source is used for calibrat ion.
