The [ital T][sub [ital z]]=[minus]3/2, [ital A]=4[ital n]+1 nuclide [sup 73]Sr produced in the [sup 40]Ca([sup 36]Ar,3[ital n]) reaction has been observed via beta-delayed proton emission. A single proton group at a laboratory energy of 3.75[plus minus]0.04 MeV has been observed, corresponding to decay of the [ital T]=3/2 isobaric analog state in [sup 73]Rb to the ground state of [sup 72]Kr. Combining this measurement with a Coulomb displacement energy calculation yields a mass excess for [sup 73]Sr of [minus]31.82[plus minus]0.24 MeV based on a predicted mass for [sup 72]Kr of [minus]53.94[plus minus]0.24 MeV.
