Abstract
The different \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed particle-decay modes of $^{31}\mathrm{Ar}$ are investigated by means of a new silicon-detector telescope. Identification of \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed two-proton decay, and \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed three-proton decay observed for the first time, is made possible by Monte Carlo simulations of the detector response. Other \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed single-proton branches are also investigated, and none of the energetically allowed \ensuremath{\beta}-\ensuremath{\alpha} and \ensuremath{\beta}-p\ensuremath{\alpha} decay modes are found. Finally, the results of this experiment are compared to shell-model calculations.
