Abstract

The 28Si( 3He, p4n) 26P reaction at 110–130 MeV has been used to discover the odd-odd T z = −2 nuclide 26 P( 1 2 ≈ 20 ms) , which was predicted to lie on or beyond the proton drip line. Beta-delayed protons from its decay establish the mass excess of the lowest T = 2 state in 26Si as 5.936 ± 0.015 MeV. Possible beta-delayed two-proton emission from this isotope is discussed.
