FRAGMENTS FORMED IN THE FISSION OF URANIUM NUCLEI

(Half-lives, yields, and decay chains)

Tables containing the characteristics of the fragments formed in the fission of uranium nuclei have been published in the journals Journal of the American Chemical Society, 68, 2411 (1946), and Reviews of Modern Physics.

The tables were compiled by H. Seaborg. They are dated June 1, 1946. The tables contain data on 160 radioactive fission products.

The tables are reproduced without any changes or abridgements.

EXPLANATIONS TO THE TABLES

The first table gives data concerning various fission fragments. The fragments are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers. In the first column are given the atomic numbers \(Z\) and atomic weights \(A\) of the isotopes. In those cases where the latter have not been precisely determined, the data are enclosed in parentheses (e.g., \(\mathrm{Ge}^{(76)}\)). An asterisk means that the nucleus is in a metastable state (e.g., \(\mathrm{Se}^{81*}\)).

In the second column are given the half-lives, with the following abbreviations: “sec.” — seconds, “min.” — minutes, “hr.” — hours, “days” — days, “yr.” — years.

If the radiation of the nucleus could not be observed directly, possible limits for the values of the half-life are indicated.

The third column gives the characteristics of the radiation. The following designations are used: \(\beta^{-}\) — electron decay, \(\gamma\) — gamma rays, \(e^{-}\) — conversion electrons, \(n\) — neutrons, and “I.T.” — isomeric transition.

In the fourth column is indicated the investigator who first discovered and identified the given isotope among the fission fragments.

In the fifth column is indicated the degree of certainty of the data given:

A — the element is determined reliably, the isotope reliably.
B — the element is determined reliably, the isotope is most probable.
C — the element is determined reliably, the isotope is uncertain.
D — unreliable data.

The yield of the given nucleus, in percent, is given in the sixth column. The yield is defined as the percentage of fissions leading to the formation of the given fragment, directly or as a result of the decay of a preceding-

…existing fragments. Most of the yield values given were measured relative to the value \(6.1\%\) for 12.8-day \(\mathrm{Ba}^{140}\).

The principal data were obtained by irradiating natural uranium in a boiler. In several cases, marked by the letter \(t\), the uranium was irradiated with thermal neutrons at room temperature.

In the seventh column are given the maximum energies of the beta spectra and of conversion electrons.

In those cases where only extrapolated values according to Konopinski–Uhlenbeck (K8) are given, the corresponding quantities are supplied with the sign (K.U.).

To designate the method by which these energies were measured, the following abbreviations are used:

“спектр.” — magnetic spectrometer or spectrograph;

“абс. Al, F.” — absorption in aluminum with estimation of the range by Feather’s method (F4, F5, F6);

“абс. Al” — absorption of particles in aluminum with estimation of the range visually or from the half-thickness;

“абс. Al совл.” — absorption in aluminum of \(\beta\)-\(\gamma\) coincidences;

“Кам. Вильсона” — measurements in a Wilson chamber.

The maximum energy of the \(\beta\)-spectrum was calculated from the range using the refined range–energy relation (G145).

In the eighth column are indicated the energies of the \(\gamma\)-rays and the method by which they were measured. The following abbreviations are introduced here:

“спектр.” — denotes a magnetic spectrometer or spectrograph for the study of secondary electrons;

“спектр. конв.” — the same for conversion electrons;

“абс. Pb” — absorption in lead (if the absorption was measured in another element, its symbol is given);

“абс. Al конв.” — absorption of conversion electrons in aluminum;

“абс. Al совл.” — absorption of coincidences of secondary electrons in aluminum.

For a good determination of \(\gamma\)-ray energies, only the first three methods are suitable.

In the ninth column are indicated the nuclear reactions in which the given nuclei are obtained, their genesis, and references to the works in which they were first identified. The following abbreviations are used:

“дел.” — fission,

“пред.” — precursor,

“посл.” — subsequent nucleus,

“гип.” — nuclei not observed directly,

“масс. спектр.” — mass determination with a mass spectrograph,

“вых. дел.” — mass determination from the fission yield,

“B. W.” — indicates cases where the Bohr–Wheeler equation (B10) was used quantitatively.

In the last column additional references to the literature are given.

Fragments Formed in the Fission of Uranium Nuclei

The second table gives schemes of decay chains, masses, and yields in fission. The fission products are divided into two groups—light and heavy.

The first includes all fragments with atomic weight \(A \leqslant 117\); the second, the remaining fragments.

Atomic weights are enclosed in parentheses if they have been determined with insufficient accuracy.

Genetic relationships of the fragments are shown by arrows. Dotted arrows denote determinations that are not sufficiently accurate.

Half-lives are enclosed in parentheses in cases where the nuclei were not directly detected in the fission products, although their presence in them is very probable.

In the figure (p. 118) the total yield of chains in the fission products of \(U^{235}\) is plotted on a semilogarithmic scale as a function of atomic weight. In all, 42 chains are given*).

The solid curve is drawn through the experimental points in such a way that its total area is \(197\%\). This figure agrees well with the value \(200\%\), which follows from the presence of two large fragments per fission.

The references are given in alphabetical order. The first 100 references refer to published works, the remainder to works of the Manhattan Project. Many of the latter have apparently been declassified.

*) In Nature 158, 163, 1946, a paper by Grummitt and Wilkinson was published in which a similar curve for 20 chains was given.

Graph of fission yield versus atomic weight. The horizontal axis is labeled “Atomic weight” with ticks from 60 to 180. The vertical logarithmic axis is labeled “Yield in fission, %” with ticks \(10\), \(1\), \(10^{-1}\), \(10^{-2}\), \(10^{-3}\), \(10^{-4}\), \(10^{-5}\). The legend indicates: ○ reliable mass determinations; □ unreliable mass determinations.
