The $\beta$ decay of the isomeric and ground state of $^{50}$Sc to the semi-magic nucleus $^{50}_{22}$Ti$_{28}$ has been studied using a $^{50}$Ca beam delivered to the GRIFFIN $\gamma$-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility.…
Beta decay is one of the key factors to understand the r process and evolution of massive stars. The Gamow Teller (GT) transitions drive the beta decay process. We employ the proton neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (on QRPA)…

Within the standard model, we calculate the radiative $B\rightarrow K^{\star}\gamma$ decay rate based on a Bethe-Salpeter description for the meson wave functions and the hadronic matrix elements. With a reasonable choice of parameters the…

Electron capture and beta decay play important roles in the evolution of pre-supernovae stars and their eventual core collapse. These rates are normally predicted through shell-model calculations. Experimentally determined strength…

A measurement of the 20Na beta-delayed alpha spectrum with a high-granularity set-up has allowed the decay scheme to be revised on several points. Three new transitions of low intensity are found at low alpha-particle energy. An R-matrix…
Total absorption spectroscopy was used to investigate the beta-decay intensity to states above the neutron separation energy followed by gamma-ray emission in 87,88Br and 94Rb. Accurate results were obtained thanks to a careful control of…
The calculated nuclear matrix elements for the neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay suffer from several limitations. Predicted matrix-element values depend on the many-body method used to calculate them and, in addition, they…
The experimental results of the \babar\ and Belle collaborations are presented on the measurement of the branching ratio for the decay $B^\pm \to \tau^\pm \nu$, and the limits set on the branching ratios for the decays $B^\pm \to e^\pm \nu,…
We calculate supernova electron capture and beta decay rates for various pf-shell nuclei using large-scale shell model techniques. We show that the centroid of the Gamow-Teller strength distribution has been systematically misplaced in…
I describe the experimental determination of the CKM angle beta from measurements of the decay time separation delta t between B0 mesons produced as B Bbar pairs in e+e- annihilation. The current results from leading and non-leading decay…

We present a measurement of the relative branching ratio of the decay KL -> pi e nu gamma (Ke3gamma) with respect to KL-> pi e nu (gamma) (Ke3+Ke3gamma) decay. The result is based on observation of 19 000 Ke3gamma and 5.6 x 10^6 Ke3 decays.…
The radiative "B_c -> tau nu_tau gamma" decay is analyzed in the standard model. The branching ratio of this decay is calculated and the contributions of the Bremstrahlung and structure dependent parts are compared. It is shown that this…
We study $\beta$ decays within an effective theory that treats nuclei as a spherical collective core with an even number of neutrons and protons that can couple to an additional neutron and/or proton. First we explore Gamow-Teller $\beta$…
