dc.description.abstractThe ranges and stragglings of fission fragments from the thermal neutron fission of U-235 have been measured. Particular attention was given to the preparation of very thin uranium sources, the design of a well collimated recoil system and the preparation of the fragment catcher. The ranges and range distributions in aluminum of fission products of mass numbers 95, 140, 141 and 147 have been obtained. The range values obtained agree with previous determinations within the experimental error. The refined techniques developed in this work have enabled differential range distributions to be obtained which are more precise than any previous determinations.en_US
