Abstract
Measurements were made of prompt neutron emission in the thermal neutron fission of 235U. The mean neutron emission per fragment was obtained for particular values of the fragment mass and total kinetic energy. A direct neutron counting method was employed and a comparison made with data from previous experiments of this type.
