3 Outline Historical background the 1970s Evaluation of PFGS characteristics Renaissance the 2010s New evaluation systematics Fast neutron induced fission Predictions for 238 U(n, f) Conclusions Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

4 Historical background Experiments First comprehensive studies of prompt fission γ-ray spectra (PFGS) in the 1970s on: n th U n th U n th Pu 252 Cf (spontaneous) Measured PFGS characteristics: E γ,tot = average total γ energy/fission ε γ = average γ energy/photon ν γ = average γ multiplicity Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

5 Historical background 1972: Nifenecker et al. (NPA 189 (1972) 285) E γ,tot (ν n ) = 0.75 ν n Evaluations 2001: Valentine (ANE 28 (2001) 191) E γ,tot (ν n,a,z) = ϕ(a,z) ν n (MeV) with ϕ(a,z) = 2.51(±0.01) (± ) Z 2 A 1/2 ε γ (A,Z) = -1.33(±0.05) (±2.5) Z 1/3 /A ν γ (ν n,a,z) = E γ,tot (ν n,a,z) / ε γ (A,Z) Note: A and Z dependencies are purely empirical! Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

8 Comparison of results General impression for the fissioning systems 252 Cf(sf), 235 U(n th, f) and 241 Pu(n th, f) E γ,tot and ε γ : good agreement between our results and those from the early 1970s, while the DANCE values are too high ν γ : our results agree well with the 1970 results, but the DANCE values are too low Impact of new results on evaluation according to Valentine?

21 Summary so far PFGS characteristics as function of A and Z of the compound system Agreement between new experimental results and Valentine s evaluation is rather good Parameters might need an adjustment Estimate (interpolations/extrapolation) of PFGS characteristics is possible for nuclei, which are not experimentally accessible However: only valid for thermal neutron induced and spontaneous fission? Attempt: fast neutron induced fission! Example below: 238 U(n, f)! Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

22 Fast neutron induced fission Why n U PFGS? Motivation Important nuclide for fast reactors one of six isotopes in the focus of the CIELO pilot project First preliminary experimental results from CEA in Bruyèresle-Châtel available at E n = 1.7 and 15.6 MeV (BGO) in preparation at E n = 1.7 and 5.2 MeV (BGO) (Laborie et al., private communication) New experiment performed recently at IPN Orsay LICORNE facility, covering energy range between E n = 0.7 and 4 MeV First preliminary results obtained Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

23 Fast neutron induced fission Multiple chance fission Example: n E n 239 U* fission + neutrons E n = 15.6 MeV (n E n ) n U* fission + neutrons E n = 8.25 MeV (n E n ) n U* fission + neutrons E n = 2.11 MeV (n E n ) n U* fission + neutrons etc. ν = ν pre +ν ff with ν pre = ν ff = pre-fission neutrons prompt neutrons from fission fragments Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

24 Fast neutron induced fission Prerequisites According to Valentine: E γ,tot depending linearly on ν n, ε γ independent ν γ approximately proportional to ν n Knowledge of ν n (E n ) important In case of multiple chance fission: (n, f) cross section has to be known (ENDF/B-VII.1) Contributions from different fission channels have to be taken into account ν n (E n ) for all fissioning systems (ENDF/B-VII.1) Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

25 238 U(n, f) PFGS characteristics Fission cross section ENDB/B-VII.1 How to extract contributions from the different fission channels? Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

26 238 U(n, f) PFGS characteristics Fission cross section Answer: ask a theoretician to calculate it Example: n Pa fission (picture from: Vladuca et al., NPA 740 (2004) 3) Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

27 238 U(n, f) PFGS characteristics Fission cross section Answer: ask a theoretician to calculate it Example: n Pa fission (picture from: Vladuca et al., NPA 740 (2004) 3) Or: or fit the well-known 1/v behaviour! Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

28 238 U(n, f) PFGS characteristics Fission cross section The result makes it possible to estimate the different contributions, Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

Claim: only the latter may be related to PFGS! Andreas Oberstedt NEMEA-7/CIELO workshop, Geel (Belgium), November 5-8,

34 238 U(n, f) PFGS characteristics Prompt fission neutron multiplicity an illustration According to ENDF/B-VII.1: ν ν ν ( 238 U+n at E n = 15.6 MeV) = (interpolated) ( 237 U+n at E n = 8.25 MeV) = (interpolated) ( 236 U+n at E n = 2.11 MeV) = (interpolated) ν = ν ff 237 Recursively: 236 U+n at E n = 2.11 MeV; 100% (n,f); = U+n at E n = 8.25 MeV; 46% (n,f) + 54% (n,nf); = ν = 46% ν ff % (1+ν ff 237 ) ν ff 238 = U+n at E n = 15.6 MeV; 25.4% (n,f) % (n,nf) % (n,2nf); = = 3.97 ν = 25.4% ν ff % (1+ν ff 238 )+ 32.5% (2 +ν ff 237 ) ν ν pre ν ff Hence, with = 4.58 follows that ν ff 239 = 1.07 (from compound system(s)) and = 3.51 (from fission fragments) Note that only the latter multiplicity may be related to prompt fission γ-ray emission!

45 Conclusions Systematics of PFGS characteristics as function of A and Z of the compound system makes sense for at least thermal neutron induced and spontaneous fission Original parameters from Valentine s description might need an adjustment Empirical A and Z dependence must be verified More experimental data needed Predictions for fast neutron induced fission of n U presented Good agreement of our predictions with both calculations and preliminary experimental results!
