Abstract
The previously measured decay of the ground state of was reanalyzed based on new experimental and theoretical results for the ground state of In the previous analysis no evidence for diproton emission was found and the measured large decay width was inconsistent with sequential proton decay via the intermediate system of The recent results on show evidence that the ground state of is at substantially lower energy allowing for a consistent explanation of the two-proton decay of in terms of sequential proton emission.
