Zachary We report total absorption spectroscopy measurements of Rb 92 , Y 96 gs , and Cs 142 β decays, which are the most important contributors to the high energy ν ¯ e spectral shape in nuclear reactors. These three β decays contribute 43% of the ν ¯ e flux near 5.5 MeV emitted by nuclear reactors. This ν ¯ e energy … [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 092501] Published Mon Aug 22, 2016
