11. Looking for Beta-Delayed Protons in the Decay of 11Be

Beta-delayed proton emission is a phenomenon that typically occurs for exotic neutron-deficient nuclei, when the proton binding energy in the beta-daughter nucleus is small and falls well within the Q-beta value. Nevertheless, the energy window for this process is open also for a few light, neutron-rich isotopes. Particularly interesting in this respect is the one-neutron halo nucleus 11Be,...

12. Search for double alpha decay

Submitted oral (In person)

Alpha decay is known for more than a century, however a global microscopic description of this process has only been successfully developed recently by Mercier et al. [1]. Within the framework of covariant energy density functional, using a least action principle, the half-life of medium and heavy nuclei are in agreement within one order of magnitude with experimental value [2].

Moreover,...

69. Beta-delayed neutron emission at Isolde Decay Station

Robert Kazimierz Grzywacz (University of Tennessee (US))

Invited (In person)

Beta-delayed (β-n) neutron emitters are a focus of recent ISOLDE [Hei23, Xu23, Xu24], RIKEN [Yok19, Pho22, Yok23 ], and FRIB/NSCL [Cox24, Neu24] studies. The knowledge of the mechanism of β-delayed neutron emission and its consequences on the decay probabilities contribute to diverse areas of nuclear science, from nuclear reactors to astrophysical nucleosynthesis. Until recently, modeling the...
