Abstract
The branching ratio in the electron-capture decay of 7Be to the 478 keV and ground states of 7Li has been measured employing an activation technique. Three 7Li targets were bombarded with a proton beam and the neutrons resulting from the 7Li(p, n) 7Be reaction were counted in 4π geometry. After bombardment, the 478 keV γ-activity was determined. To calibrate neutron-detection efficiency, two 89Y targets were bombarded, and the resulting neutrons and ensuing 909 keV γ-activity counted. Comparison of the neutron yields with the γ-activities results in a 7Be branch of (10.49 ± 0.07)% to the 478 keV state of 7Li.
