The /~-decay of 377ms 95Rb and 168ms 97Rb has been thoroughly investigated by means of 7-ray, conversion electron and /Ldelayed neutron spectroscopy. More than 97 % of the /~-decay to particle-bound states has been placed in level schemes of 95Sr and 97Sr. High-resolution neutron spectroscopic studies have allowed to extend the knowledge of the excitation spectra up to 9 MeV, respectively 10 MeV. The density of neutron-unbound levels in 95Sr and 97Sr has been derived from peak stripping analyses of the neutron spectra. Beta-strength functions (S~(E)) have been investigated in detail.They indicate that Gamow-Teller /~-decay of both precursors is dominated by nuclear structure. The discovered pronounced resonances and the variation in the shape of So(E ) are compared with predictions from the gross theory of/3-decay and shell model calculations in the random phase approximation (RPA).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
