Ground-state proton radioactivity has been identified from 121Pr. A transition with a proton energy of E(p)=882(10) keV [Q(p)=900(10) keV] and half-life t(1/2)=10(+6)(-3) ms has been observed and is assigned to the decay of a highly prolate deformed 3/2(+) or 3/2(-) Nilsson state. The present result is found to be incompatible with a previously reported observation of ground-state proton radioactivity from 121Pr, which would have represented the discovery of this phenomenon.
已从¹²¹Pr中识别出基态质子放射性。观测到一个质子能量为E(p)=882(10) keV [Q(p)=900(10) keV]且半衰期t(1/2)=10(⁺⁶)(⁻³) ms的跃迁,并将其归因于一个高度长椭形变的3/2(⁺)或3/2(⁻)尼尔森态的衰变。发现目前的结果与先前报道的¹²¹Pr基态质子放射性观测结果不相符,而先前的观测本可代表这一现象的发现。
