Monte Carlo algorithm for calculating pre-neutron fragment mass and kinetic energy distributions from measurements using the 2E Technique for reaction 235U(nth, f)

Abstract

An algorithm is proposed that enables the calculation of pre-neutron mass and energy distributions of fission fragments from uranium-235, induced by thermal neutrons, utilizing measurements obtained through the 2E technique. This algorithm facilitates the inference of the curve representing the average multiplicity of prompt neutrons relative to the pre-neutron mass of the fission fragments.
