Two-Proton Decay Experiments at MSU
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 excited state was populated with relativistic Coulomb excitation of the exotic beam of 17 the present reaction 15 Ne is not important for astrophysical purposes two-poton capture reactions on heavier proton rich nuclei can have a large impact on the path of the rp-process.

TWO - 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 کاملThe Shell-Model Code NuShellX@MSU
NuShellX is a set of computer codes written by Bill Rae [1] that are used to obtain exact energies, eigenvectors and spectrosopic overlaps for low-lying states in shellmodel Hamiltonian matrix calculations with very large basis dimensions It uses a J-coupled proton-neutron basis, and J-scheme matrix dimensions of up to the order of 100 million can be considered. NuShellX@MSU is a set of wrapper...
متن کاملIsospin-forbidden b-delayed proton emission
Shell-model calculations have been carried out for isospin-forbidden P-delayed proton emission for Is-Od-shell nuclei. The process in which a nucleus near the proton drip line P+ decays by a superallowed transition to the isobaric analog state in the daughter nucleus is considered. The first complete set of calculations for the subsequent isospin-forbidden particle decay of the isobaric analog ...

We study the equilibration of isospin degree of freedom in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions using an isospin-dependent BUU model. It is found that there exists a transition from the isospin equilibration at low energies to nonequilibration at high energies as the beam energy varies across the Fermi energy in central, asymmetric heavy-ion collisions. At beam energies around 55 MeV/nucleo...
متن کاملStudy of N by Elastic Resonance Scattering in Inverse Kinematics
In some nuclei along the drip-line, for example the exotic nuclei 11 Be, an energy level inversion between the 2s ½ and 1p ½ states occurs. Interest in the mirror state of 11 Be on the proton rich side, 11 N, resulted in a continuation of an earlier study searching for resonances in this nucleus. The experiment involved the resonance scattering reaction 10 C + p in inverse kinematics performed ...
