Correlations of alpha-particles in splitting of C-12 nuclei by neutrons of energy of 14.1 MeV

Abstract

Correlations of $α$-particles are studied on statistics of 400 events of splitting $^{12}$C $\rightarrow$ 3$α$ in nuclear track emulsion exposed to $14.1 MeV$ neutrons. The ranges and emission angles of the $α$-particles are measured. Distributions over energy of $α$-particle pairs and triples are obtained.
