Abstract
We measured the energy distributions of ternary fission fragments corresponding to different energy intervals in the spectrum of long-range alpha particles with average energies of 10.6, 16.4, 20.3, and 24.0 MeV. It was found that for Eα>15 MeV the most probable total energy of ternary fission fragments, within the limits of experimental error, was independent of the energy of the alpha particles and that for Eα=10.6 MeV it was about 4 MeV higher.
The results of the measurements are evaluated.
