Recently, a list of the top 50 most important electron capture (EC) and $\beta$-decay (BD) nuclei, averaged throughout the stellar trajectory for $0.500 > Y_e > 0.400$, was published. The current study presents the calculation of EC and BD…
An empirical fit to electron-nucleus scattering for $A>2$ is made based on world data. It is valid for $0<W<3.2$ GeV and $0.2<Q^2<5$ GeV$^2$, and can be used with caution at lower $Q^2$. The fit is based on previous empirical fits to…
