Description
Advances in nuclear studies at the proton-drip line in the last decade were driven by both the progress in experimental techniques and the developments of theoretical models. In the two lectures I will illustrate both these aspects. The production of very neutron deficient and very short-lived nuclei is a domain of in-flight radioactive beam techniques. I will present the basic ingredients of this method, including nuclear reactions involved and separation techniques applied. Some new developments in the detection of rare decays will be also discussed. In the second part I will highlight some recent achievements in theoretical understanding of the particle radioactivity from the experimentalists perspective. I will present a unifying idea of the Gamow state, the coupled channels framework applied to proton radioactivity, and some aspects of the three-body model of two-proton radioactivity.
