Direct and absolute measurements of average yield of neutrons in thermal fission of U²³⁵ and spontaneous fission of Cf²⁵²

Absolute measurements, using the manganese bath technique and prompt-neutron coincidence calibration of fission counters, have been carried out to obtain independent evaluations the total yield of neutrons in thermal fission of U²³⁵[ν̅(U²³⁵)] and spontaneous fission of Cf²⁵²[ν̅(Cf²⁵²)]. In this expe...
