For radioactive nuclear data, $\beta$ decay is one of the most important information and is applied to various fields. However, some of the $\beta$-decay data are not available due to experimental difficulties. From this respect,…

The correlations of the decay products following the beta decay of nuclei have a long history of providing a low-energy probe of the fundamental symmetries of our universe. Over half a century ago, the correlation of the electrons following…
$\beta$ decay of the $^{61}$Cr$_{37}$ ground state has been studied. A new half-life of 233 +/- 11 ms has been deduced, and seven delayed $\gamma$ rays have been assigned to the daughter, $^{61}$Mn$_{36}$. The low-energy level structure of…

The use of chemically selective laser ionization combined with beta-delayed neutron counting at CERN/ISOLDE has permitted identification and half-life measurements for 623-ms Mn-61 up through 14-ms Mn-69. The measured half-lives are found…
We present a measurement of the electron-capture branch of $^{100}$Tc. Our value, $B(\text{EC}) = (2.6 \pm 0.4) \times 10^{-5}$, implies that the $^{100}$Mo neutrino absorption cross section to the ground state of $^{100}$Tc is roughly one…
$^{\rm {180m}}$Ta is the rarest naturally occurring quasi-stable isotope and the longest lived metastable state which is known. Its possible decay via the $\beta^-$ or the electron capture channel has never been observed. This article…
We examine the effect of nuclear deformation on the calculated $\beta$-decay half-lives of 55 neutron-rich nuclei. The deformation values were computed using DD-PC1 and DD-ME2 interactions in the Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. Yet…
Electron-capture (EC) unstable species in Galactic cosmic rays constrain the time elapsed between nucleosynthesis and acceleration. They have also been advocated as tracers of reacceleration or gas inhomogeneities during their transport.…
Electron capture rates on neutron-rich nuclei (A>65) were calculated within the Random Phase Approximation with partial number formalism, including allowed and forbidden transitions. The partial occupation numbers were provided as a…
The 2 nu double beta decay half-lives of six nuclei, whose decays were previously reported as theoretically forbidden, are calculated by including the pairing interaction, which mixes different occupations and opens up the possibility of…
Theoretically a possibility of covariance violation in weak decays is not ruled out from the first principles, while there are some models predicting non-covariance revealed in weak interactions. The experimental evidence for isotropy…
The deformation energy of the even-even nuclei of the Cerium isotopic chain is investigated by means of the Macroscopic-Microscopic method with a semi-classical shell correction. We consider axially symmetric shapes. Binding energy and two…
We analyze the $^{134}_{55}$Cs$\rightarrow^{134}_{56}$Ba and $^{135}_{55}$Cs$\rightarrow^{135}_{56}$Ba $\beta^-$ decays, which are crucial production channels for Ba isotopes in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. We reckon, from…
