Abstract

Proton emission from Lu-150 was Studied using a double-sided silicon strip detector placed at the focal plane of the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility's Recoil Mass Spectrometer. The Lu-150 nuclei were produced in the Ru-96(Ni-58,p 3n) reaction at a beam energy of 292 MeV. The half-life of the previously observed proton emitting state at 1.261 MeV was remeasured to be 49+/-5 ms. A new proton emitting state in Lu-150 was observed with a transition energy of 1.295+/-0.015 MeV and a half-life of 30(-15)(+95) mu s. These values are consistent with an l = 2 character for the new proton transition.
