Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation of the fission fragment statistical decay based on a sequential neutron followed by γ-ray emission is proposed. The γ-ray energy spectrum is calculated as a function of the mass of the fission fragments and integrated over the whole mass distribution. The prompt γ-ray multiplicity distribution, both the average number of emitted γ rays and the average γ-ray energy as a function of the mass of the fission fragments [respectively, and ], are also assessed. The γ-γ correlations emitted from both light and heavy fragments are calculated as well as correlations between γ-ray energies. Results are reported for the neutron-induced fission of (at 0.53 MeV neutron energy) and for the spontaneous fission of .
