31Ar - a new look

Study 30S levels Search for direct 2p-decay

31Ar-decay :

Search for direct 2p-decay

  • Clean place to search for

direct 2p-decay

  • Estimated ~10-2-3 suppressed

compared to sequential decay

29P(p,γ)30S reaction

31Ar-decay : 30S-spectroscopy

  • β-decay data competitive!
  • low energy region unclear
  • Search for 4704keV level
  • Search for other new levels
  • measure Γp/Γγ for levels

35Ca-decay

Äystö 1985 Trinder 1997

  • β-delayed two-proton emission
  • Spectroscopic information from 34Ar
  • Fermi and Gamow-Teller strength

Production

31Ar

  • CaO target, cold-plasma
  • Yield ~ 3 atoms/s.

35Ca

  • Ti foil target (new design)
  • Yield ~ 1 atoms/s (estimate)

Beam request

β-decay of 31Ar :

27 shifts: Measurement and calibration

  • factor 5-15 more 2p events than

previous measurement for 1-3 31Ar/s.

β-decay of 35Ca :

6 shifts: Target test

Total beam request 33 shifts
