at the proton drip-line:nuclear strong interaction is notable to bound last nucleons kept inside by Coulomb

1-proton radioactivity1981: discovered at GSI (Hoffmann et al.)~30 known emitters, Z = 53 à 83
2-proton radioactivitydue to pairingpredicted in the 60’s (Goldansky)
from an excited state-2p decay:
22Al, 26P, 31Ar,…
other cases:14O, 17Ne, 18Ne(T. Zergueras et al.)
from the ground statein light nuclei
6Be, 12O, 16Ne, 19Mghalf-lives in the order ofreaction times(~10-20 s)

3 bodies break-up
2He radioactivity
simple model:tunneling of an 2He particle through the Coulomb barrier
comparison mass modelspredictions
T1/2 = f(Q2P)
if Q2P too high not bound or too short T1/2
if Q2P too small tunneling too slow:
+ dominates the decay
mass region A~50: Coulomb barrier high enough (Z = 20 ~ 30) half-life: 1 s ~ 10 ms
candidates: (mass models from Cole, Brown, Ormand)45Fe, 48Ni, 54Zn42Cr, 49Ni

1996 GSI (Darmstadt - Germany)first observation of 42Cr, 45Fe, 49Ni
no information about decay modes
1998 GANIL (Caen - France)looking for 48Ni (not successful)
first observation of 55,56Zn
1999 GANILdiscovery of 48Ni
decay of 42Cr et 49Ni45Fe: very low statistics (elect. trigger problems)
48Ni: no decay data

results depending on the model new calculations in progress
sequential emission seems excluded
still open question:3-body break-up or 2He radioactivity ?
