First measurement of proton decay from a transfer reaction to ²¹Na

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²⁴Mg(p, α)²¹Na^*, E=31 MeV; analyzed Eα, Iα, light charged particles, particle identification plot, α(protons from the decay of excited stated in ²¹Na)-coin, a follow-up analysis of previously reported experiment in 2017Ch34 using silicon detector array SIDAR at HRIBF-ORNL facility. ²¹Na; deduced levels, proton branching ratios from decay of levels in ²¹Na to the ground and first excited states of ²⁰Ne assuming isotropic decays. ²¹Mg(β⁺), (β⁺p); compared previously known experimental delayed proton branches from levels in ²¹Na populated in β⁺ decay of ²¹Mg with those from the transfer reaction in the present analysis.
