4. Studies of Two Proton radioactivity

Ivan Mukha (Helholzzentrum Gesellschaft fur SchwerIonenforschung (GSI))

Extremely proton-rich nuclei with odd or even atomic numbers were predicted by V. Goldansky in 1960 to decay through one- or two-proton radioactivity, respectively. Two-proton (2p) radioactivity, a spontaneous decay of an atomic nucleus by emission of two protons, is the most recently discovered nuclear disintegration mode. It has first been reported for 45Fe in 2002 with a half-life of...

5. Structure of proton emitting nuclei

We have performed theoretical calculations to describe the structure of nuclei at the extremes of stability, using the nonadiabatic quasiparticle approach. We reproduce the experimental half-life for proton radioactivity in 121Pr assuming J =7/2- as decaying state, showing for the first time clear evidence for partial rotation alignment in a proton emitting nucleus1. Recent findings suggest...

6. New Vistas in Experimental Searches for Proton Radioactivity

Philip J. Woods (University of Edinburgh)

21/2/11 12:20

The talk will consider where we currently stand in terms of the exploration of one proton radioactivity. Proton radioactivity provides a uniquely sensitive probe of nuclear shape and shell structure beyond the proton drip-line. This varied nuclear landscape in turn provides us with a laboratory in which to explore the dramatic influence of shape and shell structure on the proton quantum...
