Abstract: In this work proton emission from deformed nuclei is discussed with the quadrupole deformation values. The deformation is investigated using potential energy surface plots. The identified proton emitters are found to have odd Z since the unpaired proton is less bound, and they are readily available for emission. Using the exotic decay model to the medium mass nuclei, the new proton emitters are analyzed with the inclusion of centrifugal barrier. The proton decay half-lives are calculated and compared with literature values. A discussion pertaining to single proton emission with structural effect will be a pivotal point in our study.
