Title: Emission of b/sup +/-delayed pairs of protons and doubly b/sup +/-delayed protons and a particles

OSTI ID:6452925

In addition to the two types of radioactive decay with the emission of nucleon pairs that were predicted in 1960: two-proton radioactivity so far not observed experimentally and the b/sup -/-delayed neutron pairs first observed in 1979: an emission of b/sup +/-delayed proton pairs is possible. A list of probable examples is presented. The emission of doubly b/sup +/-delayed protons and a particles in particular, the doubly b/sup +/-delayed, proton-radioactive decays from an excited nuclear state, should be observed after a chain of two b/sup +/-decay events.
