Abstract
The decay scheme of has been reinvestigated. Known numbers of nuclei were produced in targets via the reaction. Following activation, the yields of 478-keV rays from the targets were measured. From three such measurements, performed at different bombarding energies, the decay branching ratio to the first excited state of has been determined to be 10.8±0.4%. The implications of this result for the solar neutrino problem are discussed.
