Measurement of the ${\beta }^{+}$ and orbital electron-capture decay rates in fully-ionized, hydrogen-like, and helium-like ${}^{140}$Pr ions

We report on the first measurement of the ${\beta }^{+}$- and orbital electron capture decay rates of ${}^{140}$Pr nuclei with the most simple electron configurations: bare nuclei, hydrogen-l…
