A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (E-x = 11.4 MeV, J(pi) = 1/2(+), and Gamma(p) = 4.4 keV) was directly observed in B-11 via proton resonance scattering. The good agreement between both experimental results confirms the existence of such exotic decay and the particular behavior of weakly bound nuclei coupled to the continuum.
A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (E-x = 11.4 MeV, J(pi) = 1/2(+), and Gamma(p) = 4.4 keV) was directly observed in B-11 via proton resonance scattering. This resonance was previously inferred in the beta-delayed proton emission of the neutron halo nucleus Be-11. The good agreement between both experimental results serves as a ground to confirm the existence of such exotic decay and the particular behavior of weakly bound nuclei coupled to the continuum. R-matrix analysis shows a sizable partial decay width for both, proton and alpha (Gamma(alpha) = 11 keV) emission channels.
