Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation reports on new information in the [beta minus] decay of the neutron-rich nucleus 81Zn, which populates states in its daughter nucleus 81Ga. This includes new [gamma]-ray transitions in the daughter nucleus, 81Ga, as well as a [beta]-delayed neutron branching ratio. This isotope was produced at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory through the Isotope Separation Online technique. They are fission fragments from proton-induced fission on a uranium carbide target. These fission fragments are ionized and both mass and isotopically separated before arriving at the Low Energy Radioactive Ion Beam Spectroscopy Station (LeRIBSS). The …
