Decay of Resonance in 18Ne by the Simultaneous Emission of Two Protons

Description

Radioactive ion beams of 17F were used to study several resonance states in 18Ne. Clear evidence for simultaneous two-proton emission from the 6.15 MeV state (Jπ = 1-) in 18Ne has been observed with the reaction 17F + H. Because of limited angular coverage, the data did not differentiate between the two possible mechanisms of simultaneous decay, di-proton (2He) emission or direct three-body decay. The two-proton partial width was found to be 21 ± 3 eV assuming 2He emission and 57 ± 6 eV assuming three-body decay. The total width of the 1 state was measured to be 50 ± 5 keV. Several additional resonances that decay by single proton emission were also studied
