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…
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…

Background: Shell evolution can impact the structure of the nuclei and lead to effects such as shape coexistence. The nuclei around $^{68}$Ni represent an excellent study case, however, spectroscopic information of the neutron-rich, $Z<28$…

Bound-state $\beta^-$-decay is a rare radioactive process where the created electron is trapped in an atomic orbital instead of being emitted. It can be observed in highly ionized atoms in particular when normal beta decay is energetically…
Most uncertainties regarding the theoretical study of the neutrinoless double-beta decay are related to the accuracy of the nuclear matrix elements that appear in the expressions of the lifetimes. We calculate the nuclear matrix elements…
