An experiment was conducted at TRUIMF Laboratory using the GRIFFIN spectrometer, which included the use of HPGe detectors, plastic scintillator detectors, and new OGS neutron detectors to observe the decay of 34Mg, its decay chain, and beta-delayed daughters. From this data, the goal is to extract branching ratios for beta-delayed neutron one and two emissions along with detecting any new energy transitions in the decay chain of 34Mg. Utilizing the Bateman Equations to fit the decay chain, we can narrow down the ranges for the beta-delayed branching ratios and confirm predetermined half-lives. From this fit, we also need the beam intensity which would then give an absolute decay rate to help determine the decay feeding intensity.
