Abstract

Radioisotope of ²³⁰Pa was synthesized by proton irradiation of ThO₂ powder targets with thickness of about 2g/cm². Pure ²³⁰Pa was extracted and deep purified from thorium and fission products by the radiociicmical method. Thin ²³⁰Pa→^β-230 U sources were prepared for measuring the cluster decay of ²³⁰U. Two cases of decay via heavy ion emission, which were most probably for the neon decays of ²³⁰U, were detected by using solid-state track registration detectors. The preliminary branching ratio relative to α-decay comes out to be (1.3±0.8) × 10^-14.
