Abstract

A phenomenological model of the $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron-emission probability, based on a level density function, is presented. The effective level density systematics, empirically determined from the experimental data, are found to be relatively flat, with discontinuities at the major shell closures. These systematics have been modeled and used to determine $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron-emission probabilities. The present model is compared to other available models and is found to provide an improved description of the $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron-emission probabilities across the entire mass surface.
