Description

An experimental method is presented for simply obtaining the mass distributions of fission fragments.
A feature of this method is the simultaneous use of two detectors for time-of-flight measurements, one of which is considered as a start detector and the other as a stop detector. The relevant quantity in the described method is the difference in the time of flight of two coinciding fission fragments ᐃT (used earlier, for example, in Refs [1,2]).
It is shown, that the distribution form ᐃT obtained for two additional fragments is completely identical to their mass distribution.
The paper presents the time-of-flight difference spectra of fragments of spontaneous fission {252}^Cf and induced fission of target nuclei {238}^U and {nat}^W, measured by detectors located on both sides of the target.
Experiments on U and W fission were carried out on a proton beam with an energy of E_{p} = 1 GeV at the PNPI synchrocyclotron.
