Abstract
We have determined the branching ratios for the β-delayed proton decay of excited states in 17F to excited states in 16O by measuring proton-γ-ray coincidences. We have observed transitions to the 2 + state at 6.917 MeV in 16O from 17F states at 11.193, 10.0, 9.45, 8.83 and 8.44 MeV. In particular, the transition from the 9.45 MeV state is an order of magnitude stronger than the accompanying transitions to the 1 − state at 7.117 MeV and the 3 − state at 6.130 MeV, and seems a favourable case for the observation of 16O break-up into α + 12 C .
