Ranges of U235 fission fragments in natural elements
From a recent work by Aiello, Maracci and Rustichelli, dealing with transmission of U235 fission fragments in solid media, it appeared that the Lindhard, Scharff and Schiøtt theory is able to predict in a satisfactory way the relative stopping powers of different elements for the U235 fission fragments. On the basis of this work and using available absolute experimental data for average ranges in few elements, a complete set of average ranges of U235 fission fragments in all existing natural elements was derived. This set includes for each stopping element, ranges for the median light fission fragment, for the median heavy fission fragment and for the overall median fission fragment.
