Abstract
The delayed-neutron and -ray spectra following the decay of have been investigated using the time-of-flight method, coincidences, and neutron spectrometry. The following branchings have been determined for the decay of to established energy levels in : decay to ground state (1.7±0.5%), 0.87 MeV (2.9±0.5%), 3.06 MeV (0.54±0.08%), 4.55 MeV (37.9±1.8%), 5.377 MeV (51.1±1.5%), and 5.935 MeV (5.8±0.6%). The latter three states are particle unstable and decay by the emission of neutrons to the ground state of . The energies of these neutron groups as determined by us were, respectively, 0.385±0.004, 1.163±0.014, and 1.675±0.024 MeV. The results are discussed and compared to theoretical calculations. The measured -decay strengths are compared to the strengths of corresponding transitions in the decay of the mirror nucleus .
