Title: Fission yields in spontaneous fission of Cf252
Abstract: Spontaneous fission of Cf252 has been investigated by radiochemical determination of the yields of fifteen fission products ranging in mass number from 99 to 143. Fission is observed to be asymmetric with some indication of fine structure in the mass distribution associated with the 82-neutron shell. Both light- and heavy-fission product groups are shifted to higher masses relative to spontaneous fission of Cm242. The yield-mass curve indicates a value of 5 ± 1 for the average number of neutrons emitted per fission.
