Abstract

β-delayed neutron yields from ^29–34Na are measured with a high-efficiency liquid-scintillator neutron detector. P_n values and half-lives are deduced for ^29–34Na and ^31–34Mg descendants.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=31 Isobars
2022, Nuclear Data Sheets
Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are evaluated for 11 known nuclides of mass 31 (F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K). Detailed evaluated information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment. Combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities, and half-lives of levels, with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of γ radiations, and characteristics of β and α radiations in radioactive decays. ³¹P is the most extensively studied one among all nuclides via various reactions and decays, followed by ³¹S, ³¹Si, ³¹Mg and ³¹Al. Information for excited states in ³¹Ne, ³¹Na, ³¹Cl, ³¹Ar and ³¹K are limited; no excited states have yet been identified in ³¹F, even its ground-state half-life is unknown. Significant new data have become available for the structure of ³¹S, with its relevance to astrophysical applications. This work supersedes the earlier evaluation of A=31 by 2013Ou01, with literature cutoff date of Feb 15, 2013.
Evaluation of Beta-Delayed Neutron Emission Probabilities and Half-Lives for Z = 2-28
2015, Nuclear Data Sheets
We present an evaluation and compilation of β-delayed neutron probabilities and half-lives for nuclei in the region Z = 2–28 (⁸He–⁸⁰Ni). This article includes the recommended values of these quantities as well as a compiled list of experimental measurements for each nucleus in the region for which β-delayed neutron emission is possible. The literature cut-off for this work is August 15^th, 2015. Some notable cases as well as new standards for β-delayed neutron measurements in this mass region are also discussed.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 31
2013, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for the known nuclides of mass 31 (F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar) has been evaluated. A useful source of many of the Adopted Levels for ³¹P and ³¹S is presented in Endtʼs evaluations (1998En04,1990En08,1978En02,1973EnVA), however all the adopted properties of levels and gamma rays have been re-evaluated in this work. The data sets for reactions and decays, including all available gamma–ray data, are based mostly on the original literature.
The 31Mg nuclide is a prime candidate for the study of ‘island-of-inversion’ as its ground state and first excited state can only be explained by intruder orbitals in a deformed shell-model approach. ³¹S is of importance in astrophysics rp-process as a possible ‘bottleneck’ nuclide. There are no data available for excited states in ³¹F, ³¹Ne and ³¹Ar. No gamma transitions are known in ³¹Cl. For ³¹Na, only one excited state is known. The radioactive decay characteristics of ³¹F and ³¹Ne isotopes have not yet been investigated. The ³¹S and ³¹Mg nuclei are currently being pursued intensively by various experimental groups, including recent work by Nuclear Astrophysics group at McMaster, the results of which will soon become available.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 34
2012, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for experimentally investigated nuclides of mass 34 (Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca) has been evaluated. The principal sources of the Adopted Levels presented for nuclides close to the stability line are Endtʼs evaluations (1990En08, 1978En02). The data sets for reactions and decays, including all available gamma–ray data, are based mostly on the original literature. There are no data available for the excited states in ³⁴Ne and ³⁴Na. The existence of the ³⁴K and ³⁴Ca nuclides has been searched and reported in a secondary publication but no evidence was found for their detection. Both nuclides are possible candidates for one or two–proton emission. Only upper limits of half–lives have been proposed based on expected cross sections. Decay schemes for the β decays of ³⁴Ne, ³⁴Na, ³⁴Mg, and ³⁴Si are not known. Very little information is available for β–delayed neutron decays of ³⁵Na, ³⁵Mg and ³⁵Si which lead to population of levels in A = 34 nuclides. Neutron–rich nuclides in this mass region are relevant to “island of inversion”.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 35
2011, Nuclear Data Sheets
The experimental data are evaluated for known nuclides of mass number A=35 (Na,Mg,Al,Si,P,S,Cl,Ar,K, Ca). Detailed evaluated level properties and related information are presented, including adopted values of level and γ-ray energies, decay data (energies, intensities and placement of radiations), and other spectroscopic data. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=35 published by 1990En08 (also 1998En04 update) and 1978En02.
No excited states are known in ³⁵Na, ³⁵Mg, ³⁵Ca. No γ rays are known in 35K. Experimental data for ³⁵Al and ³⁵Si are limited and their radioactive decay schemes seem incomplete in view of large Q values and known excitations much below than allowed by Q values. The ³⁵S, ³⁵Cl and ³⁵Ar nuclides remain as the most extensively studied from many different reactions and decays.
