/ Abstract
Abstract.In an experiment performed at the LISE3 facility of GANIL, the isotope 54Zn and its decay via two-proton emission were observed for the first time. In addition, preliminary results indicate that three implantation events of 48Ni were observed. One of the associated decay events is compatible with a two-proton emission. New data on the decay of 45Fe and its two-proton branch were recorded at the same time. The results for 54Zn are compared to theory.
