Correlations of alpha-particles in splitting of C-12 nuclei by neutrons of energy of 14.1 MeV

Abstract

Correlations of $\alpha$-particles are studied on statistics of 400 events of splitting $^{12}$C $\rightarrow$ 3$\alpha$ in nuclear track emulsion exposed to $14.1 MeV$ neutrons. The ranges and emission angles of the $\alpha$-particles are measured. Distributions over energy of $\alpha$-particle pairs and triples are obtained.
