Description

A total absorption γ-ray spectrometer has been developed on the 252Cf-based INEL ISOL facility and is being used in a program of measurements of β--decay intensity distributions of short-lived fission-product nuclei. Spectra for 139Cs and 140Cs have been measured and compared with those simulated for the published decay schemes as a test of the completeness and correctness of these schemes. New β--intensity distributions have been deduced for the decay of these isotopes. ((orig.))
