Abstract
Beta-delayed one-neutron (βn) emission has been investigated by confining radioactive ions in an ion trap and detecting the β particles and recoiling nuclei that emerge following decay. In this approach, the βn energy spectrum and branching ratio can be deduced without needing to detect the neutrons, as the neutron emission is inferred from the observed time of flight of the recoiling ions. This paper details the dominant effects that influence the extraction of the neutron energy from the time-of-flight measurement and explores the impact they have on the energy calibration and resolution.
