35 Ca decay beta-delayed 1- and 2-proton

This experiment aims to investigate the decay of 35Ca, specifically focusing on beta-delayed 1- and 2-proton emission. The study will provide insights into nucleosynthesis, isospin mixing, and the rp-process. The experiment will employ various detection setups for charged particles and gamma-rays, allowing for high-resolution spectroscopy. Spokespersons from various institutions will lead the research project.

Bordeaux – France Istituto de Estructura de la Materia (Madrid) – CSIC – Spain Dep. of Physics and Astronomy (Aarhus) – univ. Aarhus – Denmark PH department CERN (Geneva) – Switzerland beta delayed proton(s) emission program 31Ar studied at ISOLDE previous decay studies Berkeley, J. Aystö et al. (1985) GANIL, W. Trinder et al. (1999)

  2. Previous experiments 1985 Berkeley, J. Aystö et al., PRL 55 (1985) 1384 40Ca(3He,a4n) reaction, helium-jet technique small angle proton-proton coincidences with DE-E silicon telescope - only b-2p measurement (sequential) - first decay scheme logft(IAS) = 3.09 T1/2 = 50 ± 30 ms Dm = 4463 ± 60 keV (IMME) 1999 GANIL, W. Trinder et al., PLB 459 (1999) 67 40Ca fragmentation, LISE implantation / decay experiment gamma: 3 Ge (70%) and 2 NaI detectors - 19 b-p(g) transitions  B(GT) (weaker quenching than sd shell) - no b-g - no b-2p to excited state in 33Cl logft(IAS) = 4.1  missed strength ? T1/2 = 25.7 ± 0.2 ms Dm = 4530 ± 66 keV (IMME)

  3. 31Ar and 35Ca at ISOLDE current proposal is continuation of b-p and b-2p decay studies at ISOLDE 31Ar experiment : Phys. Rev. C87, 055808 (2013) G. T. Koldste, H.O.U. Fynbo, et al. mainly study of 30S resonances (b-p)  nucleosynthesis  b-p(g) and b-2p  new experimental method for Gp / Gg estimate

  4. purpose of the experiment (I) rich decay scheme beta-gamma beta-proton(-gamma) beta-2proton(-gamma) 1/2+ QEC T = 5/2 35Ca 1/2+ IAS 1/2+ 3/2+ 2+ 33Cl + 2p 0+ 34Ar+p 3/2+ 0 35P decay spectroscopy a unique access to drip-line nuclei

  5. purpose of the experiment (II) 1/2+ QEC T = 5/2 35Ca 1/2+ IAS b/CE 1/2+ 3/2+ 2+ 33Cl + 2p  beta-gamma coincidences not observed in previous experiments unexpected low B(F) strength g 0+ 34Ar + p 3/2+ 0 35P

  6. purpose of the experiment (III)  beta-proton unresolved proton groups (GANIL)  improved resol. B(GT) distribution (including b-g ?) 1/2+ QEC T = 5/2 35Ca 1/2+ IAS b/CE p 1/2+ 3/2+ 2+ 33Cl + 2p g 0+ proton emission from IAS is isospin forbidden T(35PIAS) = 1/2 T(34Args) = ½ proton vs gamma emission  isospin mixing 34Ar + p 3/2+ 0 35P

  7. purpose of the experiment (IV) 1/2+ QEC T = 5/2  beta-proton-gamma vs beta-2-proton gamma / proton widths in 34Ar rp-process: 33Cl(p,g)34Ar reaction 35Ca 1/2+ IAS b/CE p 1/2+ g 3/2+ 2+ 33Cl + 2p 0+ 34Ar + p 3/2+ 0 35P

  9. purpose of the experiment (summary)  beta-proton high resol. spectro. B(GT) distribution 1/2+ QEC T = 5/2  gamma / proton widths, rp process 35Ca  beta-(1-/2-)proton E(IAS), masses (IMME) 1/2+ IAS 1/2+ 3/2+ 2+ 33Cl + 2p  beta-gamma and B(F) strength (and B(GT) ? ) 0+ 34Ar+p 3/2+ 0  beta-2-proton 33Cl states feeding and direct 2p 35P  detailed decay scheme 
