Gross β-decay properties, such as half-lives and delayed-neutron emission probabilities, of neutron-rich nuclei in the Ge-Kr region may contain first information about the phase transition from spherical to deformed shapes. Furthermore, they are important for modelling the "weak" r-process. With this twofold motivation, we have perfomed an experiment at NSCL/MSU, using a primary beam of 136Xe with an energy of 120 MeV/u inpinging on an Be target. We report here on the measurements of T1/2 an Pn values using the BCS β-detector system, the NERO 4π neutron longcounter and a γ detector setup. The preliminary results are compared to QRPA predictions, and are included into r-process abundance calculations.
