  • The quantum tunneling and emission of a single constituent nucleon provide a beautifully simple and unique window into the complex properties of atomic nuclei at the extreme edge of nuclear existence. In particular, for odd-odd proton emitting nuclides, the associated decay energy and partial half-life can be used to probe the correlations between the valence neutrons and protons which have been theoretically predicted to favour a new type of nuclear superfluidity, isoscalar neutron-proton pairing, for which the experimental "smoking gun" remains elusive. In the present work, proton emission from the lanthanum isotope La-116(57)59, 23 neutrons away from the only stable isotope La-139(57)82, is reported. La-116 nuclei were synthesised in the fusion-evaporation reaction Ni-58(Zn-64, p5n)La-116 and identified via their proton radioactivity using the mass spectrometer MARA (Mass Analysing Recoil Apparatus) and the silicon detectors placed at its focal plane. Comparisons of the measured proton energy (E-p = 718 +/- 9 keV) and half-life (T-1/2 = 50 +/- 22 ms) with values calculated using the Universal Decay Law approach indicate that the proton is emitted with an orbital angular momentum l = 2 and that its emission probability is enhanced relative to its closest, less exotic, odd-even lanthanum isotope (La-117(57)60) while the proton-emission Q-value is lower. We propose this to be a possible signature for the presence of strong neutron-proton pair correlations in this exotic, neutron deficient system. The observations of. decays from isomeric states in La-116 and La-117 are also reported.
