Abstract

A study of the gamma emission accompanying the spontaneous fission process of 252Cf has been performed. The photon emission probability between 3 and 70 MeV and its angular dependence with respect to the fission direction were measured. These measurements were performed as a function of the mass asymmetry of the fission fragments. A large anisotropy in the energy region between 8 and 12 MeV has been found, confirming the results of a previous performed experiment [1]. This phenomena up till now remains unexplained.
