beta-delayed double-proton radioactivity
1Proton emission — (also known as proton radioactivity) is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is ejected from a nucleus. The decay of a proton rich nucleus A populates excited states of a daughter nucleus B by β+ emission or electron capture (EC). Those… …
