Popis: The average kinetic energy of the fission fragments, $$\bar E_k = 182.3 \pm 2.3MeV$$ , the distribution width at half the height, ΔEk = 24.8 ± 2.5 MeV, and the average number of prompt neutrons per fission, $$\bar v$$ = 2.71 ± 0.04, are found for the spontaneous fission of Cm244. The variation of $$\bar E_k$$ and $$\bar v$$ as functions of the nucleonic composition of the fissionable nucleus is considered in connection with the experimental results. Attention is drawn to the correlation of anomalies in these functional relationships as the most probable fragment mass varies. The assumption that the observed effects are related to a variation in the “elastic” properties of the fragments produced is discussed.
