New β-delayed proton decays in the rare-earth region near the proton drip line

The consistency between the experimental spin-parity assignment and the predicted Nilsson diagrams indirectly indicates that the ground states of 121Ce, 125Nd, 129Sm, 135Gd, 137Gd and 139Dy are highly deformed with β2 ～0.3.更多还原
