Separation of alkaline earth from alkali metal fission products in the solar on-line mass spectrometer

Half-lives, neutron emission probabilities and fission yields of neutron-rich rubidium isotopes in the mass regionA=96 toA=100

“…Significant improvements in selectivity and delay-time characteristics have been achieved for alkaline isotopes by using surface ionization sources. By applying these techniques, very neutron-rich isotopes of rubidium are being studied at CERN [1], Grenoble [2], Washington [3], and Mainz [4]. The present paper comprises a report on half-lives, delayed-neutron emission probabilities P,, and fission yields of the heaviest rubidium isotopes, obtained with this technique at the TRIGA reactor at Mainz.…”
