SynopsisThe possibility of α-particle emission from fully accelerated fission fragments is considered. The results of trajectory calculations for such α-particles emitted during the fission of 252Cf are presented, and their significance in relation to the observed energy and angular distributions of the α-particles is discussed.

Measurements have been made on the energy and angular distributions of the charged particles from disintegration ‘stars’ produced in the silver and bromine nuclei of photographic emulsions exposed to cosmic radiation. The observations extended over a wide range of excitation energies (100 to 700 MeV). The energy spectra and angular distributions of the protons can be explained in all cases by simple evaporation theory. This energy distribution shows also a high-energy tail consisting of direct knock-on protons and slow mesons. At high excitation energies the α-particles exhibit collimation effects which are probably due to localized ‘boiling’ or a form of fission.

Bombarding Energy

The distributions in angle and energy for charged particles emitted from polycrystalline platinum bombarded with ions of hydrogen, sodium, potassium and some hydrocarbons, have been measured, in continuation of previous work (Cawthron, Cotterell & Oliphant 1969 a , b , parts I and II; 1970, part III) to lower energies. Composite spectra are presented, including ions of both signs. The flux of emitted charged particles, under hydrogen ion bombardment, is shown to contain approximately equal numbers of protons and H¯ ions, except at the lowest bombarding energies, where the latter apparently predominate. Scattering in all cases is shown to increase with bombarding energy over the range covered, the increase being near linear for hydrogen and very rapid for alkalimetal ions. In all cases the total emission of charged particles is very small at the lowest bombarding energies employed.

1. Introduction .—Gamow's elegant deduction by general arguments of the law of radioactive decay by α-particle emission and his subsequent investigations on artificial disintegration suggested to us the desirability of investigating as closely as possible any simple model of a decaying nucleus as a verification of his general approximations. For the model chosen the exact investigation of the decay process is almost trivial. Since we obtained this, now some time ago, Dr. Gamow informed us that he had also obtained equivalent detailed results. Still more recently such results have been published by Kudar. We shall not therefore dwell upon them here. The application of the same ideals, however, to the reverse process of penetration presents points of very definite interest, which we think are well worth discussion. The main point that arises is that the chance of penetration α-particle is or is not equal to a characteristic energy of the nucleus itself. This is a point which is not dealt with by Gamow in his paper. We have discussed it with him, and now put forward the results we have obtained. Since the solution of the decay problem is required in the main discussion of the penetration of α-particles into the nucleus it is included here in 2 for reference. We must emphasise that we claim no novelty, except of detail, for the work of 2; the general lines by now are a matter of fairly common knowledge.
