Abstract
Using a statistical treatment of beta decay and the Hauser-Feshbach model of nuclear reactions, calculations were made and compared to recent experimental measurements of the population of granddaughter states of several delayed neutron precursors (144,145,147Cs and 96Rb). Emphasis of this paper is on the sensitivity and interpretation of experimental results to various standard low energy neutron optical model potentials and variations in their forms and parameters. Results for these precursors show qualitative agreement with experiment for all the optical potential models used and good quantitative agreement for two (“Moldauer” and “Becchetti-Greenlees”). Questions such as (N-Z) terms, deformation and nonlocality dependence will be presented.
