Abstract
An experiment to study exotic two-proton emission from excited levels of the odd-$Z$ nucleus $^{28}\mathrm{P}$ was performed at the National Laboratory of Heavy Ion Research-Radioactive Ion Beam Line (HIRFL-RIBLL) facility. The projectile $^{28}\mathrm{P}$ at the energy of $46.5$ MeV/$u$ was bombarding a $^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ target to populate the excited states via Coulomb excitation. Complete-kinematics measurements were realized by the array of silicon strip detectors and the $\mathrm{CsI}+\mathrm{PIN}$ telescope. Two-proton events were selected and the relativistic-kinematics reconstruction was carried out. The spectrum of relative momentum and opening angle between two protons was deduced from Monte Carlo simulations. Experimental results show that two-proton emission from $^{28}\mathrm{P}$ excited states less than $17.0$ MeV is mainly two-body sequential emission or three-body simultaneous decay in phase space. The present simulations cannot distinguish these two decay modes. No obvious diproton emission was found.
