Abstract

The structure of deformed proton emitters is studied in a coupled-channels treatment. The wave function of a decaying state is determined as a standing wave, i.e., for an energy that is real. The decay rate is calculated from a Green’s function method, treating the influence of the long-range Coulomb multipole interactions to first order. The results are compared to predictions made in the adiabatic limit and to measurements. It is shown that the decay of the 131Eu(3/2+) ground state to the ground state of 130Sm is quite sensitive to deformation in the spin-orbit force. It is found that the ground state decay of 141Ho(7/2) is poorly described in the coupled-channels approach. This is ascribed to Coriolis mixing, which is too strong in the absence of pairing effects.
