Abstract

A complete characterisation of the β-decay of neutron-rich nuclei can be obtained from the measurement of β -delayed gamma rays and, whenever the process is energetically possible, β -delayed neutrons. The accurate determination of the β-intensity distribution and the β -delayed neutron emission probability is of great relevance in the elds of reactor technology and nuclear astrophysics. A programme for combined measurements using the total absorption gamma-ray spectroscopy technique and both neutron counters and neutron time-of-flight spectrometers is presented.
