Fission fragments anisotropy in fast-neutron-induced fission of ²³⁵U was measured at neutron energies ranging from 0.3 to 1.4 MeV at intervals of 0.1, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.2 MeV. In the present study, the pairing energy gap (2Δ₀) for the highly deformed transition state of the nucleus ²³⁶U was found to be 2.0 ± 0.06 MeV.
