$$\beta $$ 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

Journal Article Rasco, Bertis C. ; Fijałkowska, A. ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; ... - Acta Physica Polonica. Series B

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 decaysmore »« less

Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer at the HRIBF (ORNL, Oak Ridge)

Conference Wolinska-Cichocka, Marzena ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof Piotr ; Fijalkowska, Aleksandra G ; ...

The Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) array has been designed, constructed, characterized, and applied to the decay studies of 238U fission products at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A MTAS commissioning run was performed in January 2012 at the mass separator on-line to the HRIBF Tandem accelerator. Preliminary results of MTAS data confirm known decay patterns of 142Ba and 142La deduced from an earlier study using a total absorption spectrometer technique.

The nonlinear light output of NaI(Tl) detectors in the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer

Journal Article Rasco, B. C. ; Fijałkowska, A. ; Karny, M. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

New detector array, the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS),was commissioned at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Lab(ORNL).Total absorption gamma spectra measured with MTAS are expected to improve beta-feeding patterns and beta strength functions in fission products.MTAS is constructed out of hexagonal NaI(Tl) detectors with a unique central module surrounded by 18 identical crystals assembled in three rings. The total NaI(Tl) mass of MTAS is over1000 kg.The response of the central and other 18 MTAS modules to -radiation was simulated using the GEANT4 tool kit modified to analyze the nonlinear light output of NaI(Tl).A detailedmore »« less

Modular total absorption spectrometer

Journal Article Karny, Marek ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; Fijałkowska, Aleksandra G. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The design and performance of the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer built and commissioned at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is presented here. The active volume of the detector is approximately one ton of NaI(Tl), which results in very high full γ energy peak efficiency of 71% at 6 MeV and nearly flat efficiency of around 81.5% for low energy γ-rays between 300 keV and 1 MeV. In addition to the high peak efficiency, the modular construction of the detector permits the use of a γ-coincidence technique in data analysis as well as β-delayed neutron observation.

Impact of Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer measurements of $β$ decay of fission products on the decay heat and reactor ${\bar{ν}}_{e}$ flux calculation

Journal Article Fijałkowska, Aleksandra G. ; Karny, Marek ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, we report the results of a β-decay study of fission products ⁸⁶Br, ⁸⁹Kr, ⁸⁹Rb, ⁹⁰^gsRb, ^90mRb, ⁹⁰Kr, ⁹²Rb, ¹³⁹Xe, and ¹⁴²Cs performed with the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) and on-line mass-separated ion beams. These radioactivities were assessed by the Nuclear Energy Agency as having high priority for decay heat analysis during a nuclear fuel cycle. We observe a substantial increase in β feeding to high excited states in all daughter isotopes in comparison to earlier data. This increases the average γ-ray energy emitted by the decay of fission fragments during the first 10 000 s after fission ofmore »« less
