Abstract
The decay of the 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 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 results were confronted with predictions of a three-body model.
