Synopsis

A previous discussion (Feather 1969a) of the energetics of the separation of an α-particle in the ternary fission of an (e, e) nucleus is generalised to cover the case of a light particle of arbitrary mass and charge separating from a fissioning nucleus the nucleon-parity type of which may be any one of the four possible types. A ‘profitability index’ is defined in terms of which certain broad differences in the light-particle spectra from different types of fissioning nucleus are predicted, and the results of detailed calculations of the minimum energy expense of separation are given for various light particles emitted in the fission of and, for comparison, for an α-particle emitted in the fission of , an (o, o) nucleus.
