- The first systematic measurement of neutron-induced fission yields has been performed at the upgraded IGISOL-4 facility at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. The fission products from high-energy neutron-induced fission of U-nat were stopped in a gas cell filled with helium buffer gas, and were online separated with a dipole magnet. The isobars, with masses in the range A = 128-133, were transported to a tape-implantation station and identified using gamma-spectroscopy. We report here the relative cumulative isotopic yields of tin (Z = 50) and the relative independent isotopic yields of antimony (Z = 51). Isomeric yield ratios were also obtained for five nuclides. The yields of tin show a staggered behaviour around A = 131, not observed in the ENDF/B-VII. 1 evaluation. The yields of antimony also contradict the trend from the evaluation, but are in agreement with a calculation performed using the GEF model that shows the yield increasing with mass in the range A = 128-133.

- Isomeric yield ratios for the odd-A isotopes of Cd119-127 and In119-127 from 25-MeV proton-induced fission on natural uranium have been measured at the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap, by employing the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique. With the significantly improved mass resolution of this novel method isomeric states separated by 140 keV from the ground state, and with half-lives of the order of 500 ms, could be resolved. This opens the door for obtaining new information on low-lying isomers, which are important for nuclear structure, fission, and astrophysics. In the present work the experimental isomeric yield ratios are used for the estimation of the root-mean-square angular momentum J(rms) of the primary fragments. The results show a dependency on the number of unpaired protons and neutrons, where the odd-Z In isotopes carry larger angular momenta. The deduced values of J(rms) display a linear relationship when compared with the electric quadrupole moments of the fission products.
