Anisotropy effect: the most important emission of prompt n. is from fully-accelerated FF but n. evaporation during fragment acceleration isalso possible, leading to a non-isotropic spectrum in CMS. Another sourceof non-isotropic neutrons can be the emission at the scission moment (scission-neutrons). According to Terrel the anisotropy of neutronemission if present is symmetrical about 90o and the SCM spectrum could be described by:

In the case where only one fissioning nucleus is involved: SF and neutron induced fission in En range of the first chancea) “Most probable fragmentation approach” with average values ofmodel parameters (<Er>, <TKE>, <Sn>, <Eγ>, <C>=Ac/<a>)b) “Multi-modal” fission concept: total PFNM and PFNS calculatedas superposition of the multiplicity and spectrum of each mode weighted with the modal branching ratios. Average model parametersare determined for each mode.c) Point by Point (PbP) model: the entire FF range covered by theY(A,TKE) distribution is taken into account. Total PFNM and PFNSare calculated as superposition of the multiplicity and spectrum of each pair weighted with the charge and mass distributions of FF.
The PbP treatment is the most accurate because it takes into accountthe full range of possible fragmentations while the other two approaches consider only one ore few fragmentations (subsets) with average model parameters
![Page 9: IAEA Research Contract No. 15805 Prompt fission neutron spectrum calculations in the frame of extended Los Alamos and Point by Point models First year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0b7f8b9ab05998b013/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When more fission chances are involved: only “most prob. fragm”.approach is used because it is impossible to distinguish Y(A,TKE) of each chance and more, the secondary CN are formed at many excitation energies too large amount of calculations.

POINT BY POINT modelFF pair range: all mass pairs {AL, AH} covered by Y(A, TKE) (with the step of 1 mass unit) are taken into account. For each mass pair 2Z/A, 4Z/A, 6Z/A… are taken with the chargenumber Z as the nearest integer values above and below the most probable charge Zp (UCD with charge polarization ΔZ). Usually 2Z/A are taken because P(Z) is a narrow distribution.
For each FF pair “i” (meaning LFi, HFi) quantities as: number ofprompt neutrons, prompt neutron spectrum, average prompt neutron energy in CMS and so on are calculated.PbP provides all multi-parametric data (quantities referring to each FF) these quantities do not depend on FF distributions Y(A, Z, TKE) And can be compared with experimental data. Such quantities are: the multi-parametric matrix ν(A,TKE), νpair(A), sawtooth ν(A), ε(A), Eγ(A), TXE(A) and so on.
![Page 17: IAEA Research Contract No. 15805 Prompt fission neutron spectrum calculations in the frame of extended Los Alamos and Point by Point models First year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0b7f8b9ab05998b013/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PbP is a powerful model. The TXE partition between LF and HF forming a pair is almost avoided because the model is working under the concept of FF pair. The only one limitation is the need of Y(A,TKE)
PbP provides all total average quantities (depending on FF distrib.) that can be compared with existing experimental data too. Such as < νp> , N(E), < νp>(TKE), <ε>(TKE), P(ν) etc.Special mentions:• P(ν) very sensitive quantity - the PbP model is (to our knowledge) the only able to provide P(ν) results in very good agreement with experimental data for all fissioning systems having experimental P(ν) data (SF and neutron induced fission) : 252Cf(SF), 248,244Cm(SF), 240,242Pu(SF), 235U(nth,f) and 239Pu(nth,f) Tudora, Ann.Nucl.Energy 37 (4) (2010) 492-497 ( for 252Cf, 248,244Cm(SF)) Tudora, Hambsch Ann.Nucl.Energy (2010) in press (7 fissioning systems)•PbP describes very well experimental < νp>(TKE) data too: 252Cf(SF), 248,244Cm(SF), 233,235U(nth,f) Tudora, Ann.Nucl.Energy 35 (2008) 1-10

Because at this meeting many results concerning 235U(nth,f) and 252Cf(SF) were presented, I added few of my previous results concerning P(ν) and Eγ(A)

Most probable fragmentation approach – calculation at En wheremore fission chances are involved (up to En = 20 MeV, only thefission of CN of the main chain are important)
Fission cross-section ratios are needed. RF provided by evaluations (MF=3, MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38)
In the case of n+239Pu, fission chance cross-sections are given in ENDF/B-VII, JENDL/AC and CENDL3.1 (in these libraries the upper limit En = 20 MeV). Only BRC evaluation in JEFF3.1 is given up to 30 MeV.
Observation: in all evaluations (excepting BRC) the fission chance cross-sections are obtained by renormalization of σ(n,xnf) model calculation results to the total fission cross-section (MT=18).And the evaluated total fission c.s. are not pure model calculations,adjustments to describe experimental data were made.
),(),(
