Two-proton decay from the isobaric analog state in ⁸B

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹Be(⁹C, ⁸B), E=68 MeV/nucleon, [⁹C secondary beam from ⁹Be(¹⁶O, X), E=150 MeV/nucleon primary fragmentation reaction]; measured Ep, Ip, ⁶Li-p-p correlated events from IAS of ⁸C g.s. in ⁸B by analyzing complete kinematics of 2p+⁶Li decay products, gamma decay of IAS in ⁶Li; deduced isospin-allowed 2p decay between isobaric analog states, three-body energy and angular correlations, branching ratios. Experiments carried out at NSCL-MSU facility using A1900 fragment separator and High Resolution Array of Si-CsI(Tl) telescopes.
