The electron would decay into a photon and neutrino if the law of electric charge conservation is not respected. Such a decay would cause vacancy in closed shells of atoms giving rise to emission of x-rays and Auger electrons. Experimental…
Beta-decay properties of neutron-rich Ca isotopes have been obtained. Half-life values were determined for the first time for 54Ca [86(7) ms], 55Ca [22(2) ms], and 56Ca [11(2) ms]. The half-life of 230(6) ms deduced for 53Ca is…

The excitation energy of $ {}^{229m} \mathrm{Th} $ is extremely low at $ 8.4 \, \mathrm{eV} $; thus, this isotope exhibits changes in its decay modes depending on the chemical state, specifically the outermost electronic states. However,…
Background: For nuclei heavier than $^{208}$Pb $\alpha$ decay is a dominating decay mode, and in the search of new superheavy elements one often observes chains of $\alpha$ decays. Purpose: Explore and test microscopic descriptions of…
New superheavy nuclei are often identified through their characteristic $\alpha$-decay energies, which requires accurate calculations of $Q_{\alpha}$ values. While many $Q_{\alpha}$ predictions are available, little is known about their…
[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…
