description

The study of beta‐delayed proton emission is a well known method to aid the determination of the beta strength distribution in nuclei far from the stability line. At the neutron deficient side of the nuclear chart the process of proton or alpha emission from excited states is energetically allowed when one goes far enough from stability. However, beta‐delayed alphas have seldom been measured for nuclei heavier than A  =  20. Here we present a study of the beta‐delayed alpha‐particle emission from 152Tm and 150Ho and their importance in the full B(GT) distribution. © 2011 American Institute of Physics
