Nuclear pairing interaction plays a crucial role in both macroscopic-microscopic and fully macroscopic descriptions of nuclei. In the present study we discuss different pairing interactions (monopole and delta pairing forces) and the…
In the present work, we report a comprehensive shell-model study of the $\log ft$ values for the forbidden $\beta^-$ decay transitions in the north-east region of $^{208}$Pb. For this we have considered $^{210-215}$Pb $\rightarrow$…

A quantum mechanical analysis of the bremsstrahlung in $\alpha$ decay of $^{210}$Po is performed in close reference to a semiclassical theory. We clarify the contribution from the tunneling, mixed, outside barrier regions and from the wall…
Description of a nuclear system in its ground state and at low excitations based on the equation of state (EoS) around normal density is presented. In the expansion of the EoS around the saturation point additional spin polarization terms…
Background: Neutrinoless double beta decay, if observed, would reveal physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, namely it would prove that neutrinos are Majoran fermions and that the lepton number is not conserved.…
In this article, we analyze some nuclear structure aspects of the neutrinoless double beta decay nuclear matrix elements (NME), in the framework of the Interacting Shell Model. We give results for the decays of 48Ca, 76Ge, 82Se, 124Sn,…
Building on the work of E. L. Medeiros [1] and our previous study [2], we generalize the alpha-nucleus nonlocality effect to odd-A and odd-odd nuclei within the two-potential approach (TPA) framework. The coordinate-dependent parameters…
The $^{11}$Be neutron halo nucleus appears to decay into $^{10}$Be with a rate that exceeds expectations. Neutron disappearance into dark matter, beta decay of a halo neutron, or beta-delayed proton decay have been offered as explanations.…
We approach the calculation of the nuclear matrix element of the neutrinoless double-beta decay process, considering the light-neutrino-exchange channel, by way of the realistic shell model. To this end, we start from a realistic…
A broad extension of periodic system into the sector of antimatter could be possible sometimes in a remote future. We expect that anti-alpha spontaneous emission from an antimatter nucleus will have the same Q-value and half-life as alpha…
In the present paper we treat the second-forbidden non-unique (2nd-nu) ground-state-to-ground-state $\beta^-$ decay $^{99}\textrm{Tc}(9/2^+)\to\,^{99}\textrm{Ru}(5/2^+)$, with a 100$\%$ branching ratio, within the framework of the nuclear…
The pairing corrections, the single particle occupation numbers, are investigated within density-dependent delta interaction formalism for pairing residual interactions. The potential barrier is computed in the framework of the…

$\beta$-decay, a process that changes a neutron into a proton (and vice versa), is the dominant decay mode of atomic nuclei. This decay offers a unique window to physics beyond the standard model, and is at the heart of microphysical…
In this paper, we carefully look at the $\alpha$ -decay half-lives of 196 even-even nuclei using a two-potential approach that is made better by taking into account an alpha particle's effective mass that changes with coordinates. The…
The particle-number-conserving (PNC) method in the framework of the deformed shell model (DSM) is employed to study the properties of the newly discovered short-lived neutron-deficient nucleus 224Np and its {\alpha}-decay. The calculated…
The $\alpha$-decay phenomennon has been studied for more than a century but the mechanism of the $\alpha$ particle formation and its tunneling process have not yet been fully understood. As an alternative to the $\alpha$-decay lifetime…
