Direct and beta-delayed proton decay of very neutron-deficient rare-earth isotopes produced in the reaction58Ni+92Mo

Abstract

Using on-line mass separation of evaporation residues from the reaction58Ni +92Mo→150Yb*, a proton line of 1,055±6 keV energy and 0.42±0.10 s half-life was observed at mass number 147. The origin of this activity is very likely the direct proton decay of147Tm. Beta-delayed protons registered at the same mass position show a pronounced peak structure in their energy distribution. A lower limit of their half-life was set to 1 s.
