beta-delayed neutron spectroscopy of As-85 with MONSTER

The beta-delayed neutron emission in the As-85 beta-decay has been measured at the IGISOL facility of the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla (JYFL). The complete beta-decay has been studied with a setup which consists of a plastic scintillator, the MOdular Neutron time -of-flight SpectromeTER (MONSTER), and two types of y-rays detectors (HPGe and LaBr3). The beta-delayed neutron energy distribution has been determined by unfolding the TOR spectrum with the iterative Bayesian unfolding method.

Automated summary

The beta-delayed neutron emission in the As-85 beta-decay has been measured using a setup consisting of a plastic scintillator, MONSTER, and two types of γ-rays detectors at the IGISOL facility. The energy distribution of beta-delayed neutrons has been determined through iterative Bayesian unfolding of the TOR spectrum.
