摘要：

A method has been developed to measure ground-state beta--branching intensities with the total absorption gamma-ray spectrometer at the INEL ISOL facility. This spectrometer, which is used to measure beta-feeding (or beta-strength) distributions to excited states in neutron-rich fission-product nuclei, consists of a 25.4 cm diameter x 30.5 cm long well-type NaI(Tl) scintillation detector together with a Si beta- detector located in the collection-tape transport line in the well. With this spectrometer operating in the beta-gamma coincidence mode as a 4-pi-gamma-beta detector, ground-state beta--branching intensities are obtained from simple ratios of beta-gamma coincidence to beta-singles count rates together with additional, generally small, correction terms. Results obtained for Rh-106, Cs-138-141, Ba-141-142, La-142-145 and Ce-145 are presented and compared with existing data obtained with conventional nuclear spectroscopic methods.
