Popis: In this paper we present results from two recent studies, both related to the emission of prompt fission γ rays. Firstly, we have analyzed data from the reaction 235U(n, f) induced by fast neutrons of average energy E̅n E̅n = 1.7 MeV. The deduced spectral characteristics are an average multiplicity M̅γ M̅γ = 7.11 ± 0.44 γ rays per fission and an average total γ-ray energy release in fission E̅γ,tot E̅γ,tot = 5.51 ± 0.46 MeV, corresponding to an average γ-ray energy ɛ̅γ ɛ̅γ = 0.77 ± 0.08 MeV. Secondly, we have addressed – and answered – the question how those characteristics in general depend on the width of the chosen prompt time window and the timing resolution, determined by the employed detectors and electronics. The conclusion is that once this is known, it is possible to compare results from different experiments in a more meaningful way.
