Original Abstract

Fission product cross sections of intermediate-energy fission of U-238 were used in order to construct the charge and mass yield distributions. Enriched target of U-238 was irradiated by proton beam with energy 660 MeV for several hours at the LNP Phasotron, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia. The charge distribution of the fission fragments was analyzed for calculation of isobaric cross sections. The mass yield curves were expanded into symmetric and asymmetric components according multimodal fission approach. The fissility values of actinides were calculated at given proton energy. The obtained results have been compared to the same data for targets Np-237 and Am-241.
