Energy correlations of prompt neutrons from 252Cf fission

Measurements have been made of the neutron-neutron energy correlations for coincident neutrons emitted in the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf. The hypothesis that cooling of the fission fragments during the cascade evaporation of prompt neutrons affects the energies of successive neutrons in a cascade...
