Towards the Limits of Existence of Nuclear Structure: Observation and First Spectroscopy of the Isotope 31K by Measuring Its Three-Proton Decay. In Physical Review Letters (Vol. 123, Issue 9). American Physical Society (APS). https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.123.0925021079-7114 (electrónico)0031-9007http://hdl.handle.net/10272/20878The most remote isotope from the proton dripline (by 4 atomic mass units) has been observed: 31K. It is unbound with respect to three-proton (3 p ) emission, and its decays have been detected in flight by measuring the trajectories of all decay products using microstrip detectors. The 3 p emission processes have been studied by the means of angular correlations of 28S +3 p and the respective decay vertices. The energies of the previously unknown ground and excited states of 31K have been determined. This provides its 3 p separation energy value S3 p of -4.6 (2 ) MeV . Upper half-life limits of 10 ps of the observed 31K states have been derived from distributions of the measured decay vertices.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/journal article10.1103/physrevlett.123.092502open access22 Física
