Decay Energies of Gaseous Fission Products and their Daughters forA=88 to 93

Abstract
A systematic study of β-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) γ detector to determine β-group end-point energies and deduce Q values. The following β-decay energies have been determined: Kr88, 2.93 ± 0.03 MeV; Rb88, 5.30 ± 0.06 MeV; Kr89, 4.93 ± 0.06 MeV; Kr90, 4.35 ± 0.05 MeV; Rb90, 6.32 ± 0.07 MeV; Kr91, 6.12 ± 0.07 MeV; Rb91, 5.68 ± 0.04 MeV; Kr92, 5.97 ± 0.08 MeV; Rb92, 7.58 ± 0.15 MeV; Sr92, 1.93 ± 0.03 MeV; Kr93, 8.3 ± 0.5 MeV; and Rb93, 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 β-decay energies for 13 additional nuclei by means of systematics.
