The proton-unbound argon and chlorine isotopes have been studied by measuring trajectories of their decay-in-flight products by using a tracking technique with micro-strip detectors. The proton (1p) and two-proton (2p) emission processes have been detected in the measured angular correlations "heavy-fragment"+p and "heavy-fragment"+p+p,...

Prospects of experimental studies of argon and chlorine isotopes located far beyond the proton dripline are studied by using systematics and cluster models. The deviations from the widespread systematics observed in 28 , 29 Cl and 29 , 30 Ar have been theoretically substantiated, and analogous deviations have been predicted for the lighter...

Previously unknown isotopes 30Ar and 29Cl have been identified by measurement of the trajectories of their in-flight decay products 28S+p+p and 28S+p, respectively. The analysis of angular correlations of the fragments provided information on decay energies and the structure of the parent states. The ground states of 30Ar and 29Cl were found at...

Several states of proton-unbound isotopes 30 Ar and 29 Cl were investigated by measuring their in-flight decay products, 28 S + proton + proton and 28 S + proton, respectively. A refined analysis of 28 S -proton angular correlations indicates that the ground state of 30 Ar is located at 2 . 45 + 0.05 − 0.10 MeV above the two-proton...

We have observed the two-proton radioactivity of the previously unknown 19Mg ground state by tracking the decay products in-flight. For the first time, the trajectories of the 2p-decay products, 17Ne+p+p, have been measured by using tracking microstrip detectors which allowed us to reconstruct the 2p-decay vertices and fragment correlations....

Proton-proton correlations were observed for the two-proton decays of the ground states of 19Mg and 16Ne. The trajectories of the respective decay products, 17Ne+p+p and 14O+p+p, were measured by using a tracking technique with microstrip detectors. These data were used to reconstruct the angular correlations of fragments projected on planes...

Previously unknown states in 18Na and 19Mg have been studied by measuring the trajectories of their decay products with microstrip detectors. Analyzing angular correlations of the fragments provided information on decay energies and widths of the parent states. The ground state of 18Na has been detected and its one-proton decay energy of...

A powerful method of investigating proton-unbound nuclear states by tracking their decay products in flight is discussed in detail. To verify the method, four known levels in 15F, 16Ne, and 19Na were investigated by measuring the angular correlations between protons and the respective heavy-ion fragments stemming from the precursor decays in...

Two high-lying states in 15F and 16Ne, unbound with respect to one-proton (1p) and two-proton (2p) emissions, have been observed in the fragmentation of 17Ne at intermediate energies. They undergo mainly sequential emissions of protons via intermediate states in 14O and 15F and have decay energies of 7.8(2) and 7.6(2) MeV, respectively. The...

The experimental area 2 (EAR-2) at CERNs neutron time-of-flight facility (n_TOF), which is operational since 2014, is designed and built as a short-distance complement to the experimental area 1 (EAR-1). The Parallel Plate Avalanche Counter (PPAC) monitor experiment was performed to characterize the beam pro↓le and the shape of the neutron 'ux...
