Description

Intense peaks, superposed on a structureless spectrum, were observed in 151Yb β-delayed proton decay. It is shown that the peak and statistical protons follow the decay of the s1/2 ground and h11/2 isomeric states in 151Yb, respectively. It is concluded that the peaks, also seen in 147Dy and 149Er decays, are due to a low density of 1/2 and 3/2 levels at ∝ 4.5 MeV in the N=82 daughters. (orig.)
