SUN Lijie, LIN Chengjian, XU Xinxing, et al. Experimental study of beta-delayed proton emission of 37Ca[J]. Nuclear techniques, 2014, 37(10): 100509 DOI: 10.11889/j.0253-3219.2014.hjs.37.100509.
Background: The investigation of beta-delayed proton decay mode has become a powerful tool to study the proton-rich nuclei and their nuclear structure. Purpose: The aim is to study exotic nuclei with extremely low production rates and purity. Methods: The experiment of beta-delayed proton emission of 37Ca was performed at the First Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL). Ions were implanted into a double-sided silicon detector (DSSD)
where the subsequent decays were correlated to the preceding implantation under a continuous beam-mode. Results: The energy spectrum of delayed protons from 37Ca B decay
half-life and decay branching ratios were measured. Conclusion: The experimental results are in reasonable agreement with the literature
demonstrating the feasibility of our detection approach and the reliability of our data analysis procedure. This allows for development of more powerful detection arrays and further research on nuclei closer to proton-drip line on the basis of present work.Cited
