Nuclear Structure Near and Beyond the Proton Drip Line

Jolie A. Cizewski, Kwan Ying Ding, Martin B. Smith

Two nuclear systems near and beyond the proton drip line are examined following spectroscopy with Gammasphere coupled to the Fragment Mass Analyzer. The proton-rich N=84,85 isotones are found to have an yrast structure dominated by \nu h9/2 configurations. In 173Au the first evidence is seen for the limit of energy which a nucleus beyond the proton drip line can sustain.
