${rm bf Background:}$ The recent observation of the unbound nucleus $^{11}$O offers the unique possibility to study how the structure and dynamics of two-proton ($2p$) decay is affected by the removal of one neutron from $^{12}$O, and provides important information on the Thomas-Ehrman effect in the mirror pairs $^{11}_{~8}$O$_3$-$^{11}_{~3}$Li$_8$ and $^{12}_{~8}$O$_4$-$^{12}_{~4}$Be$_8$, which involve the $2p$ emitters $^{11}$O and $^{12}$O. ${rm bf Purpose:}$ We investigate how continuum effects impact the structure and decay properties of $^{11}$O and $^{12}$O, and their mirror partners. ${rm bf Methods:}$ We solve the three-body core-nucleon-nucleon problem using the Gamow coupled-channel (GCC) method. The GCC Hamiltonian employs a realistic finite-range valence nucleon-nucleon interaction and the deformed cores of $^{9,10}$C, $^{9}$Li, and $^{10}$Be. ${rm bf Results:}$ We calculate the energy spectra and decay widths of $^{11}$O and $^{12}$O as well as those of their mirror nuclei. In particular, we investigate the dynamics of the $2p$ decay in the ground state of $^{12}$O by analyzing the evolution of the $2p$ configuration of the emitted protons as well as their angular correlations in the coordinate space. We also show how the analytic structure of the resonant states of $^{10}$Li and $^{10}$N impacts the low-lying states of $^{11}$Li and $^{11}$O. ${rm bf Conclusions:}$ We demonstrate that, in both nuclei $^{11}$O and $^{12}$O, there is a competition between direct and democratic $2p$ ground-state emission. The broad structure observed in $^{11}$O is consistent with four broad resonances, with the predicted $3/2^-_1$ ground state strongly influenced by the broad threshold resonant state in $^{10}$N, which is an isobaric analog of the antibound (or virtual) state in $^{10}$Li.

Decay studies of very neutron-deficient nuclei ranging from 39Ti to 49Ni have been performed during a projectile fragmentation experiment at the GANIL/LISE3 separator. For all nuclei studied in this work, 39,40Ti, 42,43Cr, 46Mn, 45,46,47Fe and 49Ni, half-lives and decay spectra have been measured. In a few cases, gamma coincidence measurements helped to successfully identify the initial and final states of transitions. In these cases, partial decay scheme are proposed. For the most exotic isotopes, 39Ti, 42Cr, 45Fe and 49Ni, which are candidates for two-proton radioactivity from the ground state, no clear evidence of this process is seen in our spectra and we conclude rather on a delayed particle decay.
We calculate the ground, first intrinsic excited states and density distribution for neutron-rich thorium and uranium isotopes, within the framework of relativistic mean field(RMF) approach using axially deformed basis. The total nucleon densities ar e calculated, from which the cluster-structures inside the parent nuclei are determined. The possible modes of decay, like {alpha}-decay and b{eta} -decay are analyzed. We find the neutron-rich isotopes are stable against {alpha}-decay, however they are very much unstable against b{eta} -decay. The life time of these nuclei predicted to be tens of second against b{eta} -decay.
We study the evolution of the eep cross section on nuclei with increasing asymmetry between the number of neutrons and protons. The calculations are done within the framework of the nonrelativistic and relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximatio n. In the nonrelativistic model phenomenological Woods-Saxon and Hartree-Fock wave functions are used for the proton bound-state wave functions, in the relativistic model the wave functions are solutions of Dirac-Hartree equations. The models are first tested against experimental data on $^{40}$Ca and $^{48}$Ca nuclei, and then they are applied to a set of spherical calcium isotopes.

We have developed a technique to measure beta-delayed proton decay of proton-rich nuclei produced and separated with the MARS recoil spectrometer of Texas A&M University. The short-lived radioactive species are produced in-flight, separated, then slo wed down (from about 40 MeV/u) and implanted in the middle of very thin Si detectors. The beam is pulsed and beta-p decay of the pure sources collected in beam is measured between beam pulses. Implantation avoids the problems with detector windows and allows us to measure protons with energies as low as 200 keV from nuclei with lifetimes of 100 ms or less. Using this technique, we have studied the isotopes 23Al and 31Cl, both important for understanding explosive H-burning in novae. They were produced in the reactions 24Mg(p,2n)23Al and 32S(p,2n)31Cl, respectively, in inverse kinematics, from stable beams at 48 and 40 MeV/u, respectively. We give details about the technique, its performances and the results for 23Al and 31Cl beta-p decay. The technique has shown a remarkable selectivity to beta-delayed charged-particle emission and would work even at radioactive beam rates of a few pps. The states populated are resonances for the radiative proton capture reactions 22Na(p,g)23Mg and 30P(p,g)31S, respectively.
In this paper, we analyze the structural properties of $Z=132$ and $Z=138$ superheavy nuclei within the ambit of axially deformed relativistic mean-field framework with NL$3^{*}$ parametrization and calculate the total binding energies, radii, quadru pole deformation parameter, separation energies, density distributions. We also investigate the phenomenon of shape coexistence by performing the calculations for prolate, oblate and spherical configurations. For clear presentation of nucleon distributions, the two-dimensional contour representation of individual nucleon density and total matter density has been made. Further, a competition between possible decay modes such as $alpha$-decay, $beta$-decay and spontaneous fission of the isotopic chain of superheavy nuclei with $Z=132$ within the range 312 $le$ A $le$ 392 and 318 $le$ A $le$ 398 for $Z=138$ is systematically analyzed within self-consistent relativistic mean field model. From our analysis, we inferred that the $alpha$-decay and spontaneous fission are the principal modes of decay in majority of the isotopes of superheavy nuclei under investigation apart from $beta$ decay as dominant mode of decay in $^{318-322}138$ isotopes.
