Abstrakt: The yields of fragments originating from [SUP238]U fission induced by 5-MeV neutrons are investigated. Accumulated statistics --2.5 × 10[SUP6] events of binary fission -- make it possible to study fission-fragment yields at anomalously high values of the total kinetic energy. The spectra of the cold fragmentation of [SUP239]U are obtained. Events characterized by the total kinetic energy that is equal to the total reaction energy are found for some fragment masses. Methods of digital signal processing permit a highly reliable identification of these rare events. An interpretation of this phenomenon on the basis of the liquid-drop model of the fission process is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
