The beta-decay of95Rb and97Rb
Theβ-decay of 377 ms95Rb and 168ms97Rb has been thoroughly investigated by means ofγ-ray, conversion electron andβ-delayed neutron spectroscopy. More than 97% of theβ-decay to particle-bound states has been placed in level schemes of95Sr and97Sr. High-resolution neutron spectroscopic studies have allowed to extend the knowledge of the excitation spectra up to 9 MeV, respectively 10 MeV. The density of neutron-unbound levels in95Sr and97Sr has been derived from peak stripping analyses of the neutron spectra. Beta-strength functions (S β(E)) have been investigated in detail. They indicate that Gamow-Tellerβ-decay of both precursors is dominated by nuclear structure. The discovered pronounced …
Evidence for excited 0+ states in94Sr
Beta-delayed neutron measurements on95Rb have indicated evidence for two heretofore unknown excited O+ states in94Sr which are not fed by s -decay from the Jπ = 3− ground state of94Rb.
P n-values of short-lived Sr, Y, Ba and La precursors
Beta-delayed neutron emission probabilities (Pn) of short-lived Sr, Y, Ba and La precursors were measured. As expected from systematics, but in disagreement with recent data from the SOLIS-group, only small Pn -values were obtained.
