[Background] $\beta$-decay half-life is sensitive to the shell structure near the Fermi levels. Nuclear deformation thus impacts the $\beta$-decay properties. [Purpose] A first-order shape-phase transition in neutron-rich Zr isotopes is…
The quantum states of a system of particles in a finite spatial domain in general consist of a set of discrete energy eigenvalues; these are usually grouped into bunches of degenerate or close-lying levels, called shells. In fermionic…

The simultaneous emission of two $\alpha$ particles--double-$\alpha$ decay--represents a long-predicted but unobserved mode of nuclear radioactivity. Here we formulate this process as a genuine three-body problem within the hyperspherical…

We have calculated the half-lives of $^{56}$Ni$^{\ast}$ within PCM for clusters $\ge ^{16}$O. The cluster decay half-lives studied with respect to radius formula due to Royer (R$_{Royer}$) shows that the half-lives lie within $\pm$7%,…
Neutrinoless double beta decay searches are currently among the major foci of experimental physics. The observation of such a decay will have important implications in our understanding of the intrinsic nature of neutrinos and shed light on…

An effective $\alpha$ particle equation is derived for cases where an $\alpha$ particle is formed on top of a doubly magic nucleus. As an example, we consider $^{212}$Po with the $\alpha$ on top of the $^{208}$ Pb core. We will consider the…
