Abstract
Decay protons from excited states in populated through a previously reported transfer reaction were analyzed to extract the proton branching ratios of the energy levels. By utilizing 31-MeV proton beams from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and isotopically enriched solid targets, the decay protons were detected in coincidence with particles from the reaction using a silicon strip detector array. Proton decay branching ratios of several levels were deduced for the and decay channels to the ground and first excited states in , respectively.
