Abstract
The charged particle decay of continuum states excited by the single proton stripping reaction at a bombarding energy of 50 MeV/nucleon on targets of and was measured and compared with theoretical predictions. The results suggest that most of the strength in the continuum arises from decay of unbound states in the intermediate nucleus rather than from breakup of the projectile. There is substantial direct decay to the low-lying states in the final nucleus for both targets.
