Abstract

The neutron spectroscopy of the β-delayed neutron decay of ${}^{14}{Be}$ has been investigated. Two neutron groups were observed, and energy limits are given for a third (unobserved) group that receives most of the β-decay strength. Branching ratios and logft values deduced for all three groups are compared with the results of a shell-model calculation.
