Estimation of the Value and Sign of the ROT Effect for Pu Isotopes During their Fission by Polarized Neutrons in the Resonant Energy Region.

It is proposed to measure the shift in the angular distribution of light charged particles (LCP) in ternary fission caused by polarized neutrons of plutonium isotopes in the resonance region with eV for the Pu target and eV for the Pu target. The reliability of interpretation of these experiments will compare favorably with measurements carried out previously at meV. The advantage is associated with a noticeable weakening of the influence of resonances, the parameters of which may raise some doubts. We are talking about resonances introduced at neutron energies eV. In addition, in the region of these two resonances, the fractions of impurity partial cross sections with a spin different from the spin of the resonance itself are small. It is important that the magnitude of the effects expected at the indicated resonance energies will be significantly greater than those previously obtained in the cold energy region.
