Abstract
A systematic study of -decay energies has been made for mass-separated activities of Kr gaseous fission products and their daughters at the TRISTAN on-line separator facility at the Ames Laboratory research reactor. A well-type plastic scintillator was used in coincidence with a Ge(Li) detector to determine -group end-point energies and deduce values. The following -decay energies have been determined: , 2.93 ± 0.03 MeV; , 5.30 ± 0.06 MeV; , 4.93 ± 0.06 MeV; , 4.35 ± 0.05 MeV; , 6.32 ± 0.07 MeV; , 6.12 ± 0.07 MeV; , 5.68 ± 0.04 MeV; , 5.97 ± 0.08 MeV; , 7.58 ± 0.15 MeV; , 1.93 ± 0.03 MeV; , 8.3 ± 0.5 MeV; and , 7.23 ± 0.10 MeV. The decay energies are compared with previous measurements, systematics predictions, and two currently accepted mass relations. The energies are used to predict the -decay energies for 13 additional nuclei by means of systematics.
