Description

Discovered by Roberts et al. beta delayed neutrons are very relevant in reactor control, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. Beta delayed neutron emission is a process that become more a more dominant as we move far away from stability, so its study is crucial for understanding the nuclear structure of very exotic neutron rich nuclei. In this talk, I will present how it is possible to infer nuclear shapes from Pn and T1/2 measurements and why it is relevant to combine neutron spectroscopic measurements with total absorption studies.
