The neutron fission cross section of
243
Cm for neutron energies 0.03 eV – 20 keV is measured with a neutron spectrometer at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the basis of the moderation time in lead (SVZ-100). The values of the resonance fission integral and the Westcott factor g(T) are obtained. A comparison is made with existing data and recommended values. A new evaluation of the fission cross section for thermal neutrons is made.
