Abstract:
The Los Alamos model, with multiple fission chances was upgraded to include the liniar relation between the average prompt gamma ray energy and the average prompt neutron multiplicity. The average fission fragment kinetic energy dependence on the incident neutron energy is also taken into account. Using this model for the n+237Np reaction, the prompt fission neutron spectra, the average pronpt neutron multiplicity and the average prompt gamma ray energy are obtained in very good agreement with the experimental data, proving the better predictive power of the improved Los Alamos model. The calculations were performed with the computer code system SPECTRUM which handles the complete set of output data (concerning the prompt fission quantities) with a powerful graphical interface, allowing a comparison with reference and experimental data.
