Systematic trends in beta-delayed particle emitting nuclei: The case of beta p alpha emission from Mg-21
Author
Summary, in English
We have observed beta(+)-delayed alpha and p alpha emission from the proton-rich nucleus Mg-21 produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The assignments were cross-checked with a time distribution analysis. This is the third identified case of beta p alpha emission. We discuss the systematic of beta-delayed particle emission decays, show that our observed decays fit naturally into the existing pattern, and argue that the patterns are to a large extent caused by odd-even effects.
