DELAYED PROTONS FOLLOWING DECAY OF 40 SC

Delayed protons have been observed following the beta decay of 40Sc to excited states of 40Ca. The observation of these low-energy protons was made possible by using a very thin gas counter as a dE" detector. Eighteen proton groups between the energies of 1.08 and 3.95 MeV were resolved in the proton spectrum and their energies were measured to ≈ 30 keV. The relative intensities of these peaks were determined and relative log ft values were calculated. © 1969."
