Decay protons from excited states in Na 21 populated through a previously reported Mg 24 ( p , α ) Na 21 transfer reaction [Cha et al., Phys. Rev. C 96, 025810 (2017)] were analyzed to extract the proton branching ratios of the energy levels. Additionally, by utilizing 31-MeV proton beams from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and isotopically enriched Mg 24 solid targets, the decay protons were detected in coincidence with α particles from the ( p , α ) reaction using a silicon strip detector array. Proton decay branching ratios of several Na 21 levels were deduced for the p 0 and p 1 decay channels to the ground and first excited states in Ne 20 , respectively.
