Parity-nonconservation (PNC) in nuclear fission induced by polarized neutrons can be observed as an asymmetry of the fragment angular distribution relative to the direction of the neutron spin: W(θ) ∼ 1 + αn→f (n· p) . The aim of this work is to determine the mass- and energy dependence of the PNC-effect. One possible reason for such a dependence may be found in the different "‘valleys"’ of the potential surface, through which the fissioning nucleus descents from the saddle to the scission point (Brosa-modes). The results of this work should be a test of theoretical predictions connecting the size of the PNC-effect with the quantum-number K, the projection of the nuclear spin on the symmetry axis of the fissioning nucleus at scission.
In a new fourfold back-to-back ionization chamber about 5· 109 fissions events have been observed in a first run on the cold beam of polarized neutrons at the high flux reactor of the ILL Grenoble. The experimental setup and first results are presented.
