In-beam Spectroscopy
A brief description of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy techniques is provided aiming at N~Z nuclei at or beyond the proton dripline. Ground states of odd-Z isotopes with neutron numbers, N, being less than their proton number, Z, are weakly if at all bound against the emission of protons in the region between N=Z=28 56Ni and N=Z=50 100Sn. An explanation for the lack of experimental information on those
