Precision $β$-delayed charged-particle emission spectroscopy at FRIB: Proof of principle with the $β$-decay of $^{25}\mathrm{Si}$
We report on the $β$-delayed proton and $γ$-ray emission from $^{25}\mathrm{Si}$, measured at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Low-energy $^{25}\mathrm{Si}$ ions extracted from the Advanced Cryogenic Gas Stopper were implanted into a thin carbon foil surrounded by a compact, highly segmented array of silicon detector telescopes and two high-purity germanium detectors. This setup provides high-resolution charged-particle spectroscopy, establishing a proof of principle for precision stopped-beam decay studies at FRIB. We reconstruct the $^{25}\mathrm{Si}$ decay scheme, resolving new high-energy proton transitions and determining the feeding to excited states in $^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$. The observation of spectral interference patterns enables firm spin and parity assignments for highly excited states in $^{25}\mathrm{Al}$. The $^{25}\mathrm{Si}$ $β$-strength distribution is extracted and compared with large-scale shell-model calculations.
