Abstract
The decay of extremely neutron-deficient isotope 45Fe has been studied
by using a new type of gaseous detector in which a technique of optical
imaging is used to record tracks of charged particles. The two-proton
radioactivity and the β-decay channels accompanied by proton(s) emission
were clearly identified. For the first time, the angular and energy
correlations between two protons emitted from the 45Fe ground-state were
measured. The obtained distributions were confronted with predictions of
a three-body model. Studies of β-decay channels of 45Fe provided first
unambiguous evidence for the β-delayed three proton emission.
