Two-Proton Radioactivity of ^{67}Kr.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an experiment with the BigRIPS separator at the RIKEN Nishina Center, we observed two-proton (2p) emission from ^{67}Kr. At the same time, no evidence for 2p emission of ^{59}Ge and ^{63}Se, two other potential candidates for this exotic radioactivity, could be observed. This observation is in line with Q value predictions which pointed to ^{67}Kr as being the best new candidate among the three for two-proton radioactivity. ^{67}Kr is only the fourth 2p ground-state emitter to be observed with a half-life of the order of a few milliseconds. The decay energy was determined to be 1690(17) keV, the 2p emission branching ratio is 37(14)%, and the half-life of ^{67}Kr is 7.4(30) ms.

Diminishing the effects of reduced frequency of knowledge of results on generalized motor program learning.
Several recent studies have shown that, compared with presenting knowledge of results (KR) on every practice trial, withholding KR on some practice trials enhances the learning of generalized motor programs (GMPs; Wulf, Lee, & Schmidt, 1994; Wulf & Schmidt, 1989; Wulf, Schmidt, & Deubel, 1993). In this study, whether this effect may result from an uncertainty on the part of participants about w...
متن کاملLandscape of two-proton radioactivity.
Ground-state two-proton (2p) radioactivity is a decay mode found in isotopes of elements with even atomic numbers located beyond the two-proton drip line. So far, this exotic process has been experimentally observed in a few light- and medium-mass nuclides with Z≤30. In this study, using state-of-the-art nuclear density functional theory, we globally analyze 2p radioactivity and for the first t...
متن کاملEstimation of retinal blood flow in animals.
The applicability of the krypton-85 (Kr) clearance method to the study of retinal blood flow in cats, rabbits, and monkeys is discussed. Kr disappearance curves are found to be the same whether the isotope is injected via the common carotid artery or via the lateral long posterior ciliary artery. Kr disappearance curves are found to be similar whether the radioactivity is monitored with a Geige...
متن کاملTWO - PROTON RADIOACTIVITY : TRACKING 2 He EMISSION
Two proton radioactivity has been observed experimentally in the decay of Fe and Zn, and possibly of Ni. These first experiments only allowed for a limited comparison with theory: T1/2 and Q2P values. Experimental efforts have been achieved to measure dynamical observables in order to perform a more detailed study of the decay mechanism. Time projection chambers have been developped by groups o...
متن کاملTwo-Proton Decay Experiments at MSU
First evidence for direct two-proton radioactivity has been observed in the decay of the first excited state of Ne. The decay is in competition with the -decay back to the ground state of Ne and from the branching ratio the lifetime for the two-proton decay is estimated to be 0.9 ps. The proton-proton angular distribution is statistically not significant to observe any correlations. The first e...
