First Compilation and Evaluation of Beta-Delayed Neutron Emission Probabilities and Associated Half-Lives for A ≤ 72 Nuclei
- 1. Nuclear Data Section, IAEA
Description
A comprehensive compilation and evaluation of beta-delayed neutron ( β− n ) emission probabilities,
Pn, and associated half-lives for A ≤ 72 nuclei has been performed for the first time. The
recommended values have been used to analyze the systematics of β− n emission in this region.
The ratio Pn/T1/2 is better correlated with the Q-value of the β− n decay mode than the previously
proposed Kratz-Herrmann Formula (KHF). The recommended values are also compared with
theoretical quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) calculations
