Description

In recent experiments at GANIL and GSI, we studied the decay of 45Fe, according to theoretical predictions one of the most promising cases for 2p radioactivity. Our results show for the first time clear evidence of this new radioactivity. In another experiment at GANIL, 2p emission was observed from excited states in 17Ne. In these complete kinematics measurements performed at the SPEG facility of GANIL, the angle between the two protons has been measured evidencing a 2He emission pattern. Both results will be presented and future studies are discussed
