Abstract

A radiochemical search for polyneutron species Xn has been made in the thermal neutron fission of 235U in the core of the swimming pool reactor, Apsara at Trombay. The study has been made using two probes viz. Pb and Rb using nuclear reactions of the type (Xn, Y.n) where X=8-16. It is concluded that if bound polyneutrons exist, they are not emitted in the thermal neutron fission of 235U with a yield of more than ~10-12/fission.
