Abstract

An upper limit to the mass of the three-proton unbound nucleus Na17 was measured to be ΔM34.72(6) MeV. The excitation energies, widths, and decay modes for one- and two-proton decaying states of B8, B9, C9, F16, and Ne17 were also measured. The energy-angular decay correlations in the 2p decay of Ne17 are presented.
