ABSTRACT
Formation cross sections of various ue?
fission products
have been measured as a function of bombarding-particle energy,
using protons (10-340 Mev) and deuterons (20-190 Mev).

The
were used as
monitoring reactions to measure effective cyclotron beam intensity.
Fission-product distribution curves and total fission cross sections
have been measured.
Above 50-Mev bombarding energy, the fis-
Sion-product distribution is not symmetrical about a given mass
number at a given bombardment energy.
