$$\beta $$ Decays of $$^{92}$$Rb, $$^{96\mathrm {gs}}$$Y, and $$^{142}$$Cs Measured with the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer and the Influence of $$\gamma $$ Multiplicity on Total Absorption Spectrometry Measurements
Abstract
Total absorption spectroscopy is a technique that helps obtain reliable β-feeding patterns of complex decays important for nuclear structure and astrophysics modeling as well as decay heat analysis in nuclear reactors. The need for improved measurements of β-feeding patterns from fission decay products has come to the forefront of experiments that use nuclear reactors as a source of antineutrinos. Furthermore we present more detailed results, in particular the β-decay measurements of 96gsY, and demonstrate the impact of the β-delayed γ multiplicity on the overall efficiency of Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study the decays of fission products abundant during a nuclear fuel cycle.
