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...
The neutron-rich $N \sim 126$ region is important to r-process calculations, but difficult to be accessed by experiments. This region is unique for its strong competition between allowed and first-forbidden transitions, which complicates half-life predictions. Besides, the abundances of the third r-process peak elements and actinides are sensitive to half-lives of $N = 126$ isotones....
