Abstract
The decay of 18Ne excited states into 2p+16O channel has been studied. The 18Ne secondary beam, at 33 AMeV incident energy, was produced by fragmentation of a primary 20Ne beam at the LNS-FRIBs facility. Coulomb excitation on a natPb secondary target was found to be the main interaction process leading to the population of 18Ne excited levels. The two-proton decay of the 6.15 MeV (1−) level has been confirmed, but in addition other high-lying states decaying via 2p emission were observed. A significant branching ratio of 2He decay has been deduced from the analysis of the relative angle and energy correlation spectra of the two protons emitted from the 6.15 MeV (1−) state.
