Abstract
The total photofission cross sections for the actinide nuclei ${}^{232}\mathrm{Th},$ ${}^{233}\mathrm{U},$ ${}^{235}\mathrm{U},$ ${}^{238}\mathrm{U},$ and ${}^{237}\mathrm{Np}$ have been measured from 68 to 264 MeV using tagged photons at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory. The fission fragments were detected using parallel-plate avalanche detectors. The results show that the fission probability for ${}^{238}\mathrm{U}$ is 20% lower than that for ${}^{237}\mathrm{Np}$ and 40% higher than that for ${}^{232}\mathrm{Th}.$ Less significant differences were also found among the individual uranium isotopes. These results contradict the assumption that the fission probability for ${}^{238}\mathrm{U}$ is approximately equal to unity in this energy range. It has also been observed that the fission probability as a function of energy for all these isotopes is constant, with the exception of that for ${}^{232}\mathrm{Th},$ which increases with energy, although it seems to be reaching a saturation value. Comparison between the total photofission cross section for ${}^{237}\mathrm{Np}$ and the photoabsorption cross sections for lighter nuclei shows a behavior consistent with a broadening of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ resonance with increasing atomic mass.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
