In Comptes Rendus, Marie Curie, her husband Pierre, and their collaborator Gustave Bemont, relate their discovery that the element thorium is radioactive—a major step forward in the scientific community's understanding of radiation. This source will serve as an example in my dissertation's section on the history of nuclear fission. -

In this book, Seaborg and Loveland discuss transuranium elements, or chemical elements with atomic numbers above 92. The book covers various aspects of transuranium elements, including their "discovery, chemical properties, nuclear properties, nuclear synthesis reactions, experimental techniques... superheavy elements, [and] practical applications" (Seaborg & Loveland). I will use this text to discuss the liquid drop model and nuclear fission. -

In this article published in Nuclear Data Sheets, Lestone and Strother develop a method for "interpolating between and/or extrapolating from two pre-neutron-emission first-chance mass-asymmetric fission-product yield curves" (Lestone & Strother). I will use their predictive model for total kinetic energy released as a function of neutron energy. -

In this article, published in Nuclear Physics A, Yanez et al measure the total kinetic energy (TKE) release in the fast neutron induced fission of 235U and compares their results to predictive models. I will feature their results in a figure for my dissertation, alongside the predictive models, and will compare the results from this study to similar, recent studies.
