Abstract: The very neutron-deficient isotope <superscript>50</superscript>Ni was produced in fragmentation reactions between a 650 A MeV <superscript>58</superscript>Ni beam and a <superscript>9</superscript>Be target. For the first time the decay of this nucleus was investigated, leading to the determination of the half-life as 12<superscript>+3</superscript> <subscript>-2</subscript> ms and the branching ratio for β-delayed proton emission of (70 ± 20)%.
