Abstract

We have measured the beta-decay of 31Ar with a high granularity setup sensitive to multiparticle decay branches. Two-proton emission is observed from the isobaric analog state in 31Cl to the four lowest states in 29P and furthermore from a large number of states fed in Gamow–Teller transitions. The mechanism of two-proton emission is studied via energy and angular correlations between the two protons. In all cases the mechanism is found to be sequential yielding information about states in 30S up to 8 MeV excitation energy. Improved data on the β-delayed one-proton branches together with the two-proton data provide precise information about the beta-strength distribution up to 15 MeV excitation energy.
