Using both the absolute and relative surrogate techniques, the $^{236}\mathrm{U}$($n,f$) cross section was deduced over an equivalent neutron energy range of 0 to 20 MeV. A 42 MeV $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ beam from the 88 Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was used to perform a ($^{3}\mathrm{He}$,\ensuremath{\alpha}) pickup reaction on targets of $^{235}\mathrm{U}$ (${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=7/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) and $^{238}\mathrm{U}$ (${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={0}^{+}$) and the fission decay probabilities were determined. The $^{235}\mathrm{U}$($^{3}\mathrm{He}$,$\ensuremath{\alpha}f$) and $^{238}\mathrm{U}$($^{3}\mathrm{He}$,$\ensuremath{\alpha}f$) were surrogates for $^{233}\mathrm{U}$($n,f$) and $^{236}\mathrm{U}$($n,f$), respectively. The cross sections extracted using the surrogate method were compared to directly measured cross sections. The sensitivity of these cross sections to the ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}$-population distributions was explored.
