Abstract
The decay of the extremely neutron deficient 48Ni was studied by means of an imaging time projection chamber which allowed recording tracks of charged particles. Four decays with two-proton tracks clearly corresponding to two-proton radioactivity were registered, providing the first direct evidence for this decay mode in 48Ni. The half-life of 48Ni is determined to be T 1/2 = 2.1 +1/4 -0.4ms. The measured decay energy is 1.28(6)MeV.
