Title: $β$ -decay study of ${}^{94}{Kr}$

Abstract

β decay of neutron-rich nuclide ⁹⁴Kr was reinvestigated by means of a high resolution on-line mass separator and β – γ spectroscopy. In total 22 γ-ray transitions were assigned to the decay of ⁹⁴Kr, and a new isomeric state was identified. The new information allows us to build detailed levels systematics in a chain of odd-odd rubidium isotopes and draw conclusions on nuclear structure for some of the observed states. Furthermore, the discussed level structure affects the evolution of β-decay half-lives for neutron-rich selenium, krypton, and strontium isotopes.

Experimental study of $β$ and $β - n$ decay of the neutron-rich $N = 54$ isotone ${}^{87}{As}$

Journal Article Korgul, A. ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof Piotr ; Grzywacz, R. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The β-decay properties of neutron-rich ⁸⁷As produced in the proton-induced fission of ²³⁸U were studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The low-energy excited states in N = 53 ⁸⁷Se and N = 52 ⁸⁶Se were identified through β - γ and β-delayed neutron-γ decay of ⁸⁷As , respectively. In conclusion, the experimental systematics of low-energy levels of N = 53 isotones, Z = 34 ⁸⁷Se, and Z = 32 ⁸⁵Ge, and along with an analysis of shell-model calculations, allow us to discuss the main features of excited states expected for the next Nmore » = 53 isotone, ⁸³Zn .« less

In this study, the β-decay properties of the very neutron-rich ⁸⁴Ge nucleus were studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Several new γ-transitions and levels were added to its decay scheme and the order of the two lowest-lying levels in the daughter ⁸⁴As was corrected. For the first time γ radiation following β-delayed neutron emission was observed. The shell-model calculations and apparent β transition intensities were used to guide the spin assignment to the ⁸⁴As levels, in particular for the low-energy part of the level scheme. The new spin-parity (2^–) proposed for the groundmore »« less

The β -decay properties of the very neutron-rich nucleus ⁸⁵Ge, produced in the proton-induced fission of ²³⁸U, were studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The level scheme of ₃₃⁸⁵As₅₂ populated in ⁸⁵Geβ γ decay was reconstructed and compared to shell-model calculations. The investigation of the systematics of low-energy levels in N =52 isotones together with shell-model analysis allowed us to provide an estimate of the low-energy structure of the more exotic N =52 isotone ⁸¹Cu.

Complete $?$ -decay pattern for the high-priority decay-heat isotopes ${}^{137}I$ and ${}^{137}{Xe}$ determined using total absorption spectroscopy

Journal Article Rasco, Bertis C. ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; Fijalkowska, A. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: An assessment done under the auspices of the Nuclear Energy Agency in 2007 suggested that the β decays of abundant fission products in nuclear reactors may be incomplete. Many of the nuclei are potentially affected by the so called pandemonium effect and their β-γ decay heat should be restudied using the total absorption technique. The fission products 137I and 137Xe were assigned highest priority for restudy due to their large cumulative fission branching fractions. In addition, measuring β-delayed neutron emission probabilities is challenging and any new technique for measuring the β-neutron spectrum and the β-delayed neutron emission probabilities ismore »« less

Here, the β decay of neutron-rich ⁷⁴Cu has been studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. By using a high-resolution mass separator a purified ⁷⁴Cu beam was obtained, thus allowing decay through its isobar chain to stable ⁷⁴Ge without any decay chain member dominating. A total of 170γ rays were associated with ⁷⁴Cuβ decay with 111 placed in the ⁷⁴Zn level scheme. Updated β feeding intensities and estimated log(ft) values are presented, and new J^π assignments are proposed using shell model calculations.
