TL;DR: In this article, the fission probability distributions of 232, 233, 234 Pa and 231 Th have been measured up to an excitation energy of 15 MeV, using the transfer reactions 232 Th( 3 He, t) 232 Pa, 232 Th ( 3 He,d) 233 Pa, and 232 Th 3 He 4 He) 231 Th.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the surrogate reaction method to obtain the neutron-induced fission cross-sections for the first time up to the onset of second-chance fission.

TL;DR: In this paper, a recent measurement to determine neutron-induced fission cross sections for the actinides 242,243Cm and 241Am is questioned by their results, since there are differences of more than 60% in the 0.7 to 7 MeV neutron energy range, and the experimental set-up has also enabled them to measure for the first time the fission fragment "pseudo-mass" distributions of 243,244,245cm and 242Am compound nuclei in the excitation energy range from a few MeV to about 25 MeV.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the surrogate reaction method to extract neutron-induced fission cross sections of short-lived actinides in the rare-earth region of the United States.
