Title: An Effective Method to Accurately Calculate the Phase Space Factors for $β^{-} β^{-}$ Decay

Abstract

Accurate calculations of the electron phase space factors are necessary for reliable predictions of double-beta decay rates and for the analysis of the associated electron angular and energy distributions. Here, we present an effective method to calculate these phase space factors that takes into account the distorted Coulomb field of the daughter nucleus, yet it allows one to easily calculate the phase space factors with good accuracy relative to the most exact methods available in the recent literature.

$Λ_{c} \to Λ^{*} (1520)$ form factors from lattice QCD and improved analysis of the $Λ_{b} \to Λ^{*} (1520)$ and $Λ_{b} \to Λ_{c}^{*} (2595, 2625)$ form factors

Journal Article Meinel, Stefan ; Rendon, Gumaro - Physical Review D

We present the first lattice-QCD calculation of the form factors governing the charm-baryon semileptonic decays Λ_c→Λ*(1520)ℓ⁺ν_ℓ. As in our previous calculation of the Λ_b→Λ*(1520) form factors, we work in the Λ*(1520) rest frame, but here we use four different heavy-baryon momenta instead of just two. Because of the lower mass of the Λ_c, the moderately-sized momenta used here are sufficient to determine the form factors in the full kinematic range of the semileptonic decay. We also update the analysis of our lattice results for the Λ_b→Λ*(1520) and Λ_b→Λ*_c(2595,2625) form factors by imposing exact relations among the different form factors atmore »« less

Relativistic configuration interaction plus linearized-coupled-cluster calculations of $U^{2 +}$ energies, $g$ factors, transition rates, and lifetimes

Journal Article Savukov, Igor Mykhaylovich ; Safronova, U. I. ; Safronova, M. S. - Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

In this study, excitation energies, term designations, g factors, transition rates, and lifetimes of U²⁺ are determined using a relativistic configuration interaction (CI) + linearized-coupled-cluster (LCC) approach. The CI-LCC energies are compared with CI + many-body-perturbation-theory (MBPT) and available experimental energies. Close agreement has been found with experiment, within hundreds of cm^-1. In addition, lifetimes of higher levels have been calculated for comparison with three experimentally measured lifetimes, and close agreement has been found within the experimental error. CI-LCC calculations constitute a benchmark test of the CI + all-order method in complex relativistic systems such as actinides and their ionsmore »« less

Detailed study of the decay ${}^{31}{Cl} (β γ) {}^{31}S$

Journal Article Bennett, M. B. ; Wrede, C. ; Liddick, S. N. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: ³¹Cl is a neutron-deficient isotope with a half-life of T_1/2 = 190 (1) ms. The nuclear structure of its daughter, ³¹S, is important for the determination of the thermonuclear ³⁰P(p,γ)³¹S reaction rate, which affects the final isotopic abundances of the ejecta from classical oxygen-neon novae. Purpose: Here, we aim to determine the β feedings, γ-decay branchings, and excitation energies of states populated in ³¹S and create a comprehensive decay scheme for comparison with predictions based on the shell model. Methods: Using a ³¹Cl rare istope beam implanted into a plastic scintillator and an array of high-purity Ge detectors, γmore »« less
