Exotic decay of hot rotating nuclei near proton drip line

Abstract

Hot and rotating exotic 124Ce nucleus near proton drip line has been populated through fusion evaporation reaction of 32S and 92Mo. This exotic nucleus was de-excited by evaporating p, n, α and/or light nuclei etc and several exotic nuclei have been populated. The experimentally obtained relative population of those exotic nuclei have been compared with the statistical model calculation. Agreement between experimental and statistical model calculation have been observed for most of the evaporation channels. Huge enhancement in comparison to statistical model calculation have been observed for a few channels related to multiple proton evaporation which could not be explained by using default and modified input parameters in statistical calculation. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014.
