β‐delayed emission of protons at the proton drip‐line: the cases of 43Cr and 51Ni

Studies of {beta}-delayed emission of protons for {sup 43}Cr and {sup 51}Ni were performed with a Time Projection Chamber. This detection setup allows to reconstruct in the three-dimensional space the tracks of the protons emitted. For the first time, {beta}-delayed emission of two protons is directly observed for {sup 43}Cr and {sup 51}Ni. The question about correlations between protons can be accessed. Finally, we show that {sup 43}Cr can emit up to three delayed protons.

2p radioactivity studies with a TPC

After the discovery of two‐proton radioactivity in 2002, an important effort has been made in order to observe each emitted particle individually. Energy and angular correlations between the protons should reveal details about the mechanism of this exotic decay mode. In this framework, an experiment has been performed at LISE/GANIL, where the two protons emitted in the decay of 54Zn have been individually observed for the first time. Angular and energy correlations were determined and allowed a first comparison with theoretical predictions.

Experimental Studies Of An Exotic Decay Mode At The Proton Drip-Line: The Two-Proton Radioactivity

Two‐proton radioactivity is an exotic decay mode for very proton‐rich nuclei. It was observed experimentally for the first time in 2002 for the nucleus 45Fe but the two protons could not be directly detected. So a new detector has been developed, a Time Projection Chamber, to individually observe the two protons emitted. It was used successfully during two experiments for the study of 45Fe and 54Zn. Energy correlations have been studied and the relative angle between the two protons is calculated.
