Systematics of fragment mass yields from fission of actinide nuclei induced by the 5-200Â MeV protons and neutrons

New systematics have been developed for calculating the mass yields from the fission of actinide nuclei between Th and Bk, induced by protons and neutrons with kinetic energies in the range 5-200 MeV. The systematics reproduce the experimental data accurately and are applicable as a basis for calculating independent fission fragment yields when the minor actinide transmutation in Accelerator-Driven Systems and other practical applications are of interest.
