This paper investigates the beta decay of nuclei within the sd model space, encompassing the $0d_{3/2}$, $0d_{5/2}$, and $1s_{1/2}$ shells. We comprehensively analyze their decay characteristics, including the half-life, $logft$ value, Q…

Atomic electrons are sensitive to the properties of the nucleus they are bound to, such as nuclear mass, charge distribution, spin, magnetization distribution, or even excited level scheme. These nuclear parameters are reflected in the…
We propose a simple method to evaluate $\alpha$-transition rates to low-lying excited states in even-even nuclei. For this a realistic $\alpha$-daughter double folding interaction is approximated by a parabola in the region where the decay…
