Recent progress in two-proton radioactivity

L Zhou, SM Wang, DQ Fang, YG Ma - Nuclear Science and Techniques, 2022 - Springer
During the last few decades, rare isotope beam facilities have provided unique data for
studying the properties of nuclides located far from the beta-stability line. Such nuclei are …

Two-proton emission and related phenomena

M Pfützner, I Mukha, SM Wang - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
One of characteristic phenomena for nuclei beyond the proton dripline is the simultaneous
emission of two protons (2p). The current status of our knowledge of this most recently …

First Observation of the Four-Proton Unbound Nucleus

Y Jin, CY Niu, KW Brown, ZH Li, H Hua, AK Anthony… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Mg 18 was observed, for the first time, by the invariant-mass reconstruction of O 14+ 4 p
events. The ground-state decay energy and width are ET= 4.865 (34) MeV and Γ= 115 (100) …

The discovery of isotopes

M Thoennessen - Switzerland: Springer Int. Publ, 2016 - Springer
The idea to document the discovery of all isotopes was not an ad hoc decision, but it
developed over several years. In 2003, I was asked to write a review article about the drip …

An empirical formula for the half-lives of exotic two-proton emission

I Sreeja, M Balasubramaniam - The European Physical Journal A, 2019 - Springer
An empirical formula is proposed for the two-proton decay half-lives. This study is an
extension of the empirical formula reported recently by us for calculating the logarithmic half …

Observation of Long-Range Three-Body Coulomb Effects in the Decay of

KW Brown, RJ Charity, LG Sobotka, Z Chajecki… - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
The interaction of an E/A= 57.6-MeV Ne 17 beam with a Be target is used to populate levels
in Ne 16 following neutron knockout reactions. The decay of Ne 16 states into the three-body …

Proton decays in and and isospin-symmetry breaking in carbon isotopes and isotones

N Michel, JG Li, FR Xu, W Zuo - Physical Review C, 2021 - APS
