First Observation of Doubly-Magic {sup 48}Ni

Conference ·
OSTI ID:783942
The doubly magic nucleus {sup 48}Ni has been observed for the first time at GANIL. The experiment was performed using a high intensity {sup 58}Ni beam at 74.5 MeV/A on a nickel target. This T{sub Z} = -4 nucleus is the most proton-rich nucleus ever observed, and is a good candidate for two-proton radioactivity. In this experiment, we also implanted around 280 {sup 42}Cr, 50 {sup 45}Fe and 100 {sup 49}Ni isotopes, for which no experimental information about the decay is available.
