1 The Neutron Long Counter NERO for studies of Beta-delayed Neutron Emission Jorge Pereira National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL/MSU) Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA)
2 Why do we care about β-delayed neutron emission? Direct impact in Heavy-Element Nucleosynthesis Models (r-process) also Nuclear Structure Probes
3 β-decay properties in the r-process β-delayed neutron-emission probabilities (P n ) : What is the path followed by matter flow after freeze-out (Abundance pattern post freeze-out) Additional source of late neutrons Half-lives of r-process nuclei: What are the bottle-necks of matter flow? Abundance pattern prior freeze-out T 1/2 and P n (gross β-decay properties): First insights into shell structure via β-decay strength function (Deformation, nucleon-nucleon interaction, new magic numbers, etc )
4 Measurements of β-delayed neutron-emission probabilities at NSCL
5 Measurement of β-delayed with a Neutron Long Counter
6 Design of NERO detector: Minimize Background & Maximize Efficiency
7 Design of NERO detector: Minimum Background & Maximum Efficiency β neuron background: Spurious coincidences β + neutrons β background + REAL neutrons β background + Neutron background REAL β decay + Neutron background Neutron background origin: Electronic noise Gamma rays Cosmic rays Fragmentation reactions β background origin: REAL β decays from implants mother Light particles (t, Li, )

19 Summary P n values and β-decay half-lives are crucial to model the synthesis of Heavy Elements ; they are also sensitive nuclear structure probes The neutron detector NERO was designed for measuring P n values. Its performance combines low background rates with high neutron efficiencies ~40% Measured P n values were used to investigate deformation of nuclei around 106 Zr (triaxiality, weakly-deformed intruder states) Measured P n values of nuclei around 78 Ni may indicate sensitivity of shell-model calculations to model space (inclusion of f 7/2 ). Results for Cu isotopes may indicate the inversion of π2p 3/2 and π1f 7/2 MORE

FRDM+QRPA + inverted orbitals improves P n BUT degrades T 1/2
