520 a Independent yield distributions of high-energy neutron-induced fission are of importance to achieve a good understanding of fission. Even though the mass and charge yield distributions of thermal neutron-induced fission are well known, there are few experimental data for high-energy neutron-induced fission. In addition to basic research on the fission process, independent yield distributions of high-energy neutron-induced fission play a key role in the development of Generation IV fast nuclear reactors.To facilitate measurements of independent fission yields of high-energy neutron-induced fission, a dedicated ion guide and a proton-neutron converter were developed and put to use in experiments at the isotope separator facility IGISOL in Jyväskylä. In parallel, a simulation model of the system was developed in order to optimize the collecting efficiency of fission products in the ion guide. The model uses the Monte Carlo code MCNPX to simulate the neutron production, the fission model code GEF to simulate the fission process, and GEANT4 for ion transportation. In order to benchmark the simulation model, metal foils were inserted in the ion guide with the purpose of collecting fission products. At the same time, nickel, cobalt and indium foils were located between the pn-converter and the ion guide to record the neutron flux from the pn-converter. After the beam was turned off, and after several days of cooling, g-ray spectroscopy measurements of the foils were conducted using a well shielded HPGe detector. Based on the identified g-ray transitions in the spectroscopy data, the productions of corresponding fission products and neutron activation products were calculated, and then used to benchmark the transportation and collection of fission products, as well as neutron production, in the simulations.The conclusion from the benchmark is that the transportation of fission products in the helium gas, as simulated by GEANT4, agrees very well with the measurement, while the transportation of fission products in the uranium targets agrees with the measurement within 10%. The neutron flux at the high-energy part of the neutron spectrum is overestimated by about 40%.Thanks to the benchmark it has been shown that the predictive power of the model is satisfactory and sufficient for the purpose of modeling the ion guide. Furthermore, the parameters involved in the simulations, such as neutron production, distance between the neutron source and the ion guide, volume of the ion guide and so on, play an important role in the optimization of the setup. However, the lower than expected fission rate suggests that the optimization on these parameters may not be enough to achieve a sufficiently high intensity of fission products, especially for nuclei far from the stability line. To achieve a sufficiently high intensity, an electric field guidance, similar to the RF structure of the CARIBU gas catcher presented in G.Savard et al. Nucl. Inst. Meth. B, 376: 246, 2016, to collect fission products is considered.
