“…Furthermore, the Pj-values are decisive in determining the shape and absolute strength of the upper part of S~ of nuclei far from F-stability. As already mentioned introductory, over and above yielding information on possible selectivity in highenergy F-decay via 'doorway states' [6, 9-13, 16-], the partial neutron branching ratios may also reflect nuclear structures of initial and final states connected in neutron emission [4,10,14,23]. Therefore, in the discussion about the validity of a purely statistical description of delayed neutron decay [8], a possible test may be to examine whether simultaneous agreement between experiment and statistical model calculations for neutron spectrum shapes as well as for the population of individual final states can be obtained when assuming a smooth, structureless F-strength function and when describing partial level widths for neutron emission by optical model transmission coefficients [10].…”
