摘要
The exotic beta-gamma-alpha decay mode of Na-20 has been directly observed for the first time in the Day-one experiment at the Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility. The Na-20 source was produced by using a 100-MeV proton beam bombarding a stack of microporous MgO thick target and delivered as an intense mass separated beam after online ionization. A high-efficiency simultaneous measurement of beta, gamma, and alpha transitions enables the beta-delayed gamma-gamma and alpha-gamma coincidence spectroscopy. Three beta-gamma-alpha exotic decay sequences in Na-20 are discovered, which expands the rare decay modes observed in beta decay. Moreover, a beta-alpha-decay sequence to the 6130-keV 3(-) state of O-16 is observed, which is likely through the 12 367-keV 1(+) state in Ne-20. The experimentally deduced B(F) and B(GT) are compared to the shell-model calculation, the allowed beta transition strengths can be well accounted for by using sd shell-model space interactions.
