The earliest DT nuclear fusion discoveries
M. B. Chadwick, G. M. Hale, M. W. Paris +6
We describe the earliest measurements of the DT fusion cross section commissioned by the Manhattan Project, first at Purdue University in 1943 and then at Los Alamos 1945-6 and lat…
Comparison between historic nuclear explosion yield formulas
J. P. Lestone, M. D. Rosen
During the Manhattan project a simple formula was developed by Bethe and Feynman in 1943 to estimate the yield of a fission-only nuclear explosion of a uniformly-dense bare-sphere…
Late Time Emission of Prompt Fission Gamma Rays
P. Talou, T. Kawano, I. Stetcu +3
The emission of prompt fission rays within a few nanoseconds to a few microseconds following the scission point is studied in the Hauser-Feshbach formalism applied to the deexc…
A comparison between two evaluations of neutron multiplicity distributions
J. P. Lestone
Within MCNP6, users can use multiplicity distributions for spontaneous and neutron-induced fission from an evaluation performed by Lestone (LA-UR-05-0288). This evaluation assumes…
Watt parameters for the Los Alamos Model : Subroutine getab
J. P. Lestone
Many neutron transport Monte-Carlo codes can randomly sample fission neutron energies from a Watt spectrum. The quality of simulations depends on how well the Watt spectrum represe…
Energy and Isotope Dependence of Neutron Multiplicity Distributions
J. P. Lestone
Fission neutron multiplicity distributions are known to be well reproduced by simple Gaussian distributions. Many previous evaluations of multiplicity distributions have adjusted t…
