The advent of radioactive ion beam facilities and new detector technologies have opened up new possibilities to investigate the radioactive decays of highly unstable nuclei, in particular the proton emission, $\alpha$ decay and heavy…
Quantum recurrence theorem holds for quantum systems with discrete energy eigenvalues and fails to hold in general for systems with continuous energy. We show that during quantum walk process dominated by interference of amplitude…
Beta-delayed proton emission from the neutron halo ground state of $^{11}$Be raised much attention due to the unusually high decay rate. It was argued that this may be due to the existence of a resonance just above the proton decay…
The heavy and superheavy elements of the periodic table predominately disintegrate by {\alpha}-decay, facilitating transitions mainly between ground states and occasionally involving isomeric states. This study focuses on estimating the…
An approach for describing the hindrance of the nuclear 2\nu\beta\beta-decay amplitude is proposed. The approach is based on a new formula obtained by a model-independent transformation of the initial expression for the amplitude. This…
By using the fact that the Gamow states in the momentum representation are square integrable, we obtain the differential and the total decay width of a two-body, non-relativistic decay. The resulting Gamow Golden Rule is well suited to…
We show that dephasing of individual atoms destroys the superradiance transition of the Dicke model, but that adding individual decay toward the spin down state can restore this transition. To demonstrate this, we present a method to give…
For the first time, we approach in this work the problem of the renormalization of the Gamow-Teller decay operator for nuclear shell-model calculations by way of many-body perturbation theory, starting from a nuclear Hamiltonian and…
Radioactive decay of unstable atomic nuclei leads to liberation of nuclear binding energy in the forms of gamma-ray photons and secondary particles (electrons, positrons); their energy then energises surrounding matter. Unstable nuclei are…
Microscopic determination of alpha-decay half-lives requires structure and reaction calculations. The structure part is given by the microscopic distribution of the constituent nucleons, while the relative motion of the product's decay…
The framework to describe natural phenomena at their basics being quantum mechanics, there exist a large number of common global phenomena occurring in different branches of natural sciences. One such global phenomenon is spontaneous…
Nuclear decays with simultaneous emission of two alpha particles are energetically possible for a number of nuclides. Prospects of searching for such kind of decay for nuclides present in the natural isotopic composition of elements are…
We show the feasibility of calculating the decay energy spectrum of neutron emitting nuclei within the Gamow-state description of resonances by obtaining the decay energy spectrum of $^{25}$O. We model this nucleus as a valence neutron…
A general shell model formalism for the nonmesonic weak decay of the hypernuclei has been developed. It involves a partial wave expansion of the emitted nucleon waves, preserves naturally the antisymmetrization between the escaping…
In this review we discuss the present status of strange nuclear physics, with special attention to the weak decay of Lambda hypernuclei. The models proposed for the evaluation of the Lambda decay widths are summarized and their results are…
Recently, experimental researches on the $\alpha$ decay with long lifetime are one of hot topics in the contemporary nuclear physics [e.g. N. Kinoshita {\sl et al.} (2012) and J. W. Beeman {\sl et al.} (2012) ]. In this study, we have…
Three-body continuum problems are investigated for light nuclei of astrophysical relevance. We focus on three-body decays of resonances or recombination via resonances or the continuum background. The concepts of widths, decay mechanisms…
$\alpha$ decay is usually associated with both ground and low-lying isomeric states of heavy and superheavy nuclei, and the unpaired nucleon plays a key role on $\alpha$ decay. In this work, we systematically studied the $\alpha$ decay…
The $^{9}$Be($^{14}$C, $\alpha$$\gamma$) reaction at E$_{Lab}$=30 and 35 MeV was used to study excited states of $^{19}$O. The Florida State University (FSU) $\gamma$ detector array was used to detect $\gamma$ radiation in coincidence with…
