An accurate determination of the experimental spectroscopic factor of proton emitting nuclei precisely defines the main component of the proton wave function for the unbound state. However, this has proven difficult for nuclei with Z{<=}71 due to the unknown beta-branching ratios involved. One way to solve this problem is to study proton-emitters with half-lives far too short for beta-emission to compete. Recent work at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility has produced information on {sup 141m}Ho, {sup 145}Tm, {sup 150m}Lu and {sup 151m}Lu, all of which have half-lives in the {mu}s region. A comparison between calculated and experimental spectroscopic factors for these nuclei is given.
