THE OCCURRENCE OF DELAYED-NEUTRON PRECURSORS

· J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
A survey of the isotope tables for delayed-neutron precursors was made for odd-Z nuclei having neutron numbers greater than the magic numbers by either two or three. The quantity Q/sub beta / - B/sub n/ was calculated for each case from known data or from energy systematics to determine if neutron emission is energetically possible. Among the fourteen non-fission products examined, two are known delayed-neutron precursors. In only one other case, namely Tl/sup 209/ , is there a possibility of delayed-neutron emission. The sixteen fission products considered include four known precursors, two nuclei previously suggested as precursors and three uncertain cases. In all the other cases delayed-neutron emission is energetically impossible. (auth)
