Abstract
The decay of has been investigated at TRIUMF-ISAC using a high-efficiency array of Compton suppressed detectors. From a line-shape analysis of the Doppler-broadened peaks observed in the spectrum, both the half-lives of states in and the energies of the -delayed neutrons feeding those states were obtained. Furthermore, it was possible to determine the excitation energies of the parent states in with uncertainties comparable to those obtained from neutron spectroscopy experiments. These data suggest that the decay to the state in occurs in the core and that one neutron comprising the halo of survives in a halolike configuration after the -delayed neutron emission from this level.
