New β-delayed proton precursor 149Yb near the proton drip line

Current status and future potential of nuclide discoveries

“…There are three even-Z holes in this mass region: 126 Nd, 136 Gd and 150 Yb. In all three cases, the even more neutrondeficient nuclides were observed by the detection of β-delayed proton emission at the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, China ( 125 Nd [126], 135 Gd [127] and 149 Yb [128]).…”

Theoretical study of evaporation cross sections in the synthesis of very neutron-deficient nuclei

“…The evaporation cross sections of the reactions 32 S + 92 Mo, 32 S + 106 Cd [4], 36 Ar + 92 Mo, 36 Ar + 96 Ru, 36 Ar + 106 Cd [7], 40 Ca + 97 Mo [8], 40 Ca + 106 Cd [9], and 40 Ca + 112 Sn [10] were measured at one or several energy points. However, since the products of these reactions are nuclei near the proton drip line, this was difficult and it still has not been fully investigated.…”
