Abstract
Beta-delayed proton emission from isotopes of xenon and mercury is investigated in a statistical calculation. The absolute proton intensities, the branching ratios to final levels, and the approximate spectral shapes are in good agreement with experiment if the β-strength function is assumed to be a constant with a low-energy cut-off. For the xenon isotopes an improved fit is obtained if the β-strength function is taken to have a broad peak centred at 5 MeV. This peak is tentatively interpreted as evidence for intermediate structure involving the ( g p 9 2 ) −1 g n 7 2 state.
