General Comments:

1992Bo37, 1987Po04: 46Mn observed from interaction of a 58Ni beam at E(58Ni)=55 MeV/u and 69 MeV/u with natural nickel target using magnetic separation, Wien filter and identification through time-of-flight and ΔE-E measurements. β+ decay scheme observed

2001Gi01 (also 2001Gi02): Ni(58Ni,X) E=74.5 MeV/nucleon. Fragments selected by the α-LISE3 fragment separator with a Be degrader and Wien filter at GANIL. Ions implanted in a Si-detector telescope which measured ΔE, E, and position. With tof measurements, started both by the cyclotrons’ high-frequency and a micro-channel plate detector before the Wien filter, implanted ions could be identified. The telescope was surrounded by Ge detectors to measure γ’s in the radioactive decay.

1994Bl10: 9Be(58Ni,X) E=650 MeV/nucleon, Fragment separator FRS at GSI facility, measured cross section for the production of 46Mn

2007Do17: 46Mn produced in fragmentation of 58Ni26+ beam at 74.5 MeV/nucleon with natural Ni target at SISSE/LISE3 facility in GANIL. Fragment separator=α-LISE3. Fragment identification by energy loss, residual energy and time-of-flight measurements using two micro-channel plate (MCP) detectors and Si detectors. Double-sided silicon-strip detectors (DSSSD) and a thick Si(Li) detector were used to detect implanted events, charged particles and β particles. The γ rays were detected by four Ge detectors. Coincidences measured between charged particles and γ rays. T1/2 measured by time correlation of implantation events due to 46Mn and subsequent emission of protons and/or γ rays. Total proton branching ratio is from time spectrum of events with energy >900 keV in the charged-particle spectrum. Possible small contributions from delayed-α and delayed-2p decays are ignored. 2007Do17 and 2001Go01 are from the same group. Some of the results in 2007Do17 are an improved analysis of experiments reported in 2001Gi01

  50170+   This state is expected to decay by proton emission. The 2p decay mode is energetically possible but predicted rate is small. From measurements in 2007Do17, only 7.9% 32 proton branch is known, with no evidence for 2p decay mode.
