Validating the Bohr hypothesis: Comparing fission-product yields from photon-induced fission of 240Pu and neutron-induced fission of Pu

The Bohr hypothesis, one of the most fundamental assumptions in nuclear fission theory, states that the decay of a compound nucleus with a given excitation energy, spin and parity is independent of its formation. Using fission product yields (FPYs) as a sensitive probe, we have performed new high pr...
