Abstract<br />

Neutron induced fission cross-section of 233 Pa in the fast neutron energy range from 0.5 to 10 MeV<br />

was determined for the first time as a two term product of the fission probability of 234 Pa nucleus and<br />

the same compound nucleus formation cross-section. The first term was measured with the transfer<br />

reaction 232 Th( 3 He,p) 234 Pa while the second one was calculated. The tendency of the resulting data to<br />

agree with the existing evaluated one, is a proof for the validity of the utilised method.<br />
