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...

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...

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...
