Description

A superconducting solenoid electron spectrometer operated in the lens mode was adapted to search for the β--decay of 54Mn. The Compton-electron and other instrumental backgrounds have been significantly reduced by special shielding of the absorber system. An improved procedure has been developed to select the events by momenta. A limit of 2.7 x 10-5 has been established for the β- branch
