Fission yields play a crucial role in improving our understanding of the fission process and are essential for numerous reactor physics applications, such as decay heat calculations and the determination of delayed neutron multiplicities. In this context, the research group at CEA-Cadarache is actively involved in fission yield studies, with a focus on three complementary aspects.

We present experimental results on the study of the radiative decay of fragments produced in the neutronless channel of 252Cf(sf).

We use a twin ionization chamber loaded with an ultra-thin Cf sample and apply the 2E method to determine fragment masses, yielding excellent resolution (0.7 u) for neutronless events[1].

Specific fragmentations with the heavy fragment at N=82 were...
