We present shell model calculations for the beta-decay of the 14C ground state to the 14N ground state, treating the states of the A=14 multiplet as two 0p holes in an 16O core. We employ low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions…

We study the two-neutrino double-beta decay in 76Ge, 116Cd, 128Te, 130Te, and 150Nd, as well as the two Gamow-Teller branches that connect the double-beta decay partners with the states in the intermediate nuclei. We use a theoretical…

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)…
Cluster decays of rare-earth nuclei are studied with a view to look for neutron magic shells for the $_{50}$Sn nucleus as the daughter product always. The $^{100}$Sn and $^{132}$Sn radioactivities are studied to find the most probable…

It is widely accepted that nuclear Gamow-Teller transitions are quenched; shell-model calculations also showed a clear anticorrelation between the Gamow-Teller strength and the transition rate of the collective quadrupole excitation from…
