Scientific paper

Excited structures in the proton-rich nucleus ^140Dy have been established following the decay of an 8^- isomer. The excitation energy of the isomer is established to be 2.16 MeV with a half-life of 7.3±1.5 μs. The isomer decays into the yrast line at the 8^+ state, revealing a rotational band with a deduced deformation of β2 = 0.24(3). The isotope ^140Dy is the daughter of the deformed proton emitter ^141Ho. The new information obtained here supports the role of deformation in proton emission and the previous assignments of single-particle configurations to the two proton emitting states in ^141Ho. In addition, the reduced hindrance factor measured for the isomer is consistent with the trend observed in the N=74 isotones.
