Description

The availability of a monochromatic neutrino source with adjustable energy could be an invaluable tool for the study of neutrino oscillations and related phenomena. We have studied the beta decay of 152Yb, 150Er and 156Yb, which could be possible candidate nuclei for the construction of such facility, using the Total Absorption Gamma Spectroscopy (TAGS) technique. The results from these measurements are compared with High Resolution (HR) data available from databases. The importance of the use of the TAGS technique is discussed.
