${\hat{I}}^2$-delayed ${\hat{I}}^3$-proton decay in ${}^{56}$Zn: analysis of the charged-particle spectrum

Abstract

A study of the ${\hat{I}}^2$ decay of the proton-rich $T_z$ = -2 nucleus ${}^{56}$Zn has been reported in a recent publication. A rare and exotic decay mode, ${\hat{I}}^2$-delayed ${\hat{I}}^3$-proton decay, has been observed there for the first time in the $fp$ shell. Here we expand on some of the details of the data analysis, focussing on the charged particle spectrum.
