Description

A total absorption gamma-ray spectrometer (TAGS) has been used to measure the summed gamma-ray spectra for several fission products. A Si detector was used to collect beta-particle-gated coincidence TAGS spectra. This system has been used to measure the coincidence spectra for 138-141Cs. The analyses of these spectra are based on response functions for monoenergetic gamma rays and electrons that were computed with a Monte Carlo code. Beta-feeding distributions as a function of the excitation energy of the level have been deduced. (orig.)
