^{69, 71}Co β-decay strength distributions from total absorption spectroscopy

RADIOACTIVITY ^69,71Co(β^-)[from ⁹Be(⁸⁶Kr, X), E=140 MeV/nucleon, followed by in flight separation of fragments by the A1900 fragment separator at NSCL-MSU]; measured Eγ, Iγ, Eβ, βγ-coin, half-lives of decays of ^69,71Co decays, total absorption spectra using Summing NaI(Tl) (SuN) detector for γ rays and double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) for β; deduced cumulative Iβ distributions and compared to QRPA and Skyrme QRPA calculations, Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distribution. Comparison of decay half-lives with ENSDF values, and theoretical calculations using shell mode, QRPA and Skyrme QRPA. Relevance to r process in nucleosynthesis.
