Microscopic investigation of one- and two-proton decay from the excited states of 10C

Abstract

We present microscopic cluster model calculations for the 1p and 2p decays of the 02+ and 22+ states of 10C. With the R-matrix method, we have estimated the decay widths. The obtained 1p and 2p decay widths are in good agreement with the recent experimental data and support the validity of the di-proton approximation for the 2p decay of 10C(02+). We also show the suppression of the 1p decay of the 10C(02+) state due to the structure mismatch with the decay channel.
