We have measured the total kinetic energy (TKE) release for the $^{235}$U(n,f) reaction for $E_{n}$=2-100 MeV using the 2E method with an array of Si PIN diode detectors. The neutron energies were determined by time of flight measurements using the white spectrum neutron beam at the LANSCE facility. (To calibrate the apparatus, the TKE release for $^{235}$U(n$_{th}$,f) was also measured using a thermal neutron beam from the OSU TRIGA reactor). The TKE decreases non-linearly from 169.0 MeV to 161.4 MeV for $E_{n}$=2-90 MeV. The standard deviation of the TKE distribution is constant from $E_{n}$=20-90 MeV. Comparison of the data with the multi-modal fission model of Brosa indicates the TKE decrease is a consequence of the growth of symmetric fission and the corresponding decrease of asymmetric fission with increasing neutron energy. The average TKE associated with the Brosa superlong, standard I and standard II modes for a given mass is independent of neutron energy.

We have measured the total kinetic energy (TKE) release for the $^{235}$U(n,f) reaction for $E_{n}$=2-100 MeV using the 2E method with an array of Si PIN diode detectors. The neutron energies were determined by time of flight measurements using the w
hite spectrum neutron beam at the LANSCE facility. To benchmark the TKE measurement, the TKE release for $^{235}$U(n$_{th}$,f) was also measured using a thermal neutron beam from the Oregon State University TRIGA reactor, giving pre-neutron emission $E^*_{TKE}=170.7pm0.4$ MeV in good agreement with known values. Our measurements are thus absolute measurements. The TKE in $^{235}$U(n,f) decreases non-linearly from 169 MeV to 161 MeV for $E_{n}$=2-100 MeV. The multi-modal fission analysis of mass distributions and TKE indicates the origin of the TKE decrease with increasing neutron energy is a consequence of the fade out of asymmetric fission, which is associated with a higher TKE compared to symmetric fission. The average TKE associated with the superlong, standard I and standard II modes for a given mass is independent of neutron energy. The widths of the TKE distributions are constant from $E_{n}$=20-100 MeV and hence show no dependence with excitation energy.
We have measured the total kinetic energy release (TKE), its variance and associated fission product distributions for the neutron induced fission of 232Th and 235U for En = 2 - 90 MeV. The neutron energies were determined on an event by event basis
by time of flight measurements with the white spectrum neutron beam from LANSCE. The TKE decreases non-linearly with increasing neutron energy for both systems, while the TKE variances are sensitive indicators of nth chance fission. The associated fission product distributions show the decrease in TKE with increasing beam energy that is due to the increasing probability of symmetric fission, which has a lower associated TKE, and the decreasing TKE associated with asymmetric fission, presumably due to the decreasing importance of the A = 132 shell structures.
The total kinetic energy (TKE) in the fast neutron induced fission of 237Np was measured for neutron energies from En = 2.6 - 100 MeV at the LANSCE-WNR facility. The post TKE release decreases non-linearly with increasing incident neutron energy and
can be represented as TKE(MeV) = (174.38 +- 0.72) - (5.11 +- 0.5821) log10 En for En > 1 MeV. Analysis of the fragment mass distributions indicates that the decrease in TKE with increasing En is a consequence of two factors; shell effects fade out at high excitation energies, resulting in the increasing occurrence of symmetric fission, and TKEasym decreases rapidly at high En.
Focused on the generation and evolution of vast complementary pairs of the primary fission fragments at scission moment, Dinuclear and Statistical Model (DSM) is proposed. (1) It is assumed that the fissile nucleus elongates along a symmetric coaxis
until it breaks into two primary fission fragments. (2) Every complementary pair of the primary fission fragments is approximatively described as two ellipsoids with large deformation at scission moment. (3) The kinetic energy in every complementary pair of the primary fragments is mainly provided by Coulomb repulsion, which is explicitly expressed through strict six-dimensional integrals. (4) Only three phenomenological coefficients are obtained to globally describe the quadrupole deformation parameters of arbitrary primary fragments both for $^{235}$U($n_{th}, f$) and $^{239}$Pu($n_{th}, f$) reactions, on the basis of the common characteristics of the measured data, such as mass and charge distributions, kinetic energy distributions. In the framework of DSM, the explicit average total kinetic energy distribution $overline{TKE}(A)$ and the average kinetic energy distribution $overline{KE}(A)$ are consistently represented. The theoretical results in this paper agree well with the experimental data. Furthermore, this model is expected as the reliable approach to generally evaluate the corresponding observebles for thermal neutron-induced fission of actinides.
The mass and kinetic energy distribution of nuclear fragments from thermal neutron-induced fission of 235U have been studied using a Monte-Carlo simulation. Besides reproducing the pronounced broadening in the standard deviation of the kinetic energy
at the final fragment mass number around m = 109, our simulation also produces a second broadening around m = 125. These results are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained by Belhafaf et al. and other results on yield of mass. We conclude that the obtained results are a consequence of the characteristics of the neutron emission, the sharp variation in the primary fragment kinetic energy and mass yield curves. We show that because neutron emission is hazardous to make any conclusion on primary quantities distribution of fragments from experimental results on final quantities distributions.
