Abstract

A search for a β-delayed fission (βDF) decay branch of isomerically pure samples of Aug178 and Aum178 was performed at the ISOLDE-CERN facility. Two complementary detection systems capable of registering α decays and fission fragments, the ISOLDE Decay Station and the ASET (Alpha SETup), were used. Despite very high statistics of produced Au178 nuclei, no fission fragments were detected. Upper limits of βDF probabilities of PβDF(Aug178)
