Title: Study of the two-proton radioactivity
Abstract: Two-proton (2p) radioactivity is a rare decay mode found in a few very proton-rich isotopes. The 2p decay width and properties of emitted protons carry invaluable information on nuclear structure in the presence of a low-lying proton continuum. For example, in mid-heavy nuclei, the measured 2p decay of ⁶⁷Kr turned out to be unexpectedly fast [1]. And more recently, as the mirror of the halo nucleus ¹¹Li, ¹¹O was observed for the first time with a very broad peak [2]. To understand these exotic phenomena, we apply the Gamow coupled-channel method, which describes structure and decays of three-body systems within one coherent theoretical framework by utilizing resonant and scattering states in eigenfunction expansion [3]. The calculated lifetimes, angular correlations, and other properties indicate that the nuclear inner structure and continuum effect play a significant role in the decay process [2,3]. Moreover, to provide insights into the impact of nucleonic superfluidity on two-nucleon decay processes, we are developing a novel time-dependent approach, which will allow us to consider different experimental initial-setups and directly compare the predictions and data without losing structural information. With this new approach, we reveal the different dynamics of 2p and 2n decays.
