We report updated branching fraction measurements of the color-suppressed decays B0bar to D0 pi0, D*0 pi0, D0 eta, D*0 eta, D0 omega, D*0 omega, D0 eta_prime, and D*0 eta_prime. We measure the branching fractions (*10^-4): BF(B0bar to D0…
Using a data sample of $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), we observe the decays $\chi_{cJ}\to \phi\phi\eta~(J=0,~1,~2)$, where the $\chi_{cJ}$…

The $\beta$ decays from both the ground state and a long-lived isomer of $^{133}$In were studied at the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). With a hybrid detection system sensitive to $\beta$, $\gamma$, and neutron spectroscopy, the comparative…
Beta-delayed proton and gamma emission in the decay of $^{21}$Mg has been measured at ISOLDE, CERN with the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS) set-up. The existing decay scheme is updated, in particular what concerns proton transitions to excited…
We have calculated rates of $\beta^{-}$ decay to both continuum and bound states separately for some fully ionized (bare) atoms in the mass range A $\approx$ 60-240. One of the motivations of this work is that the previous theoretical…
I consider the $\gamma W$-box correction to superallowed nuclear $\beta$-decays in the framework of dispersion relations. I address a novel effect of a distortion of the emitted electron energy spectrum by nuclear polarizabilities and show…
The double-beta (2$\beta$)-decay is the rarest nuclear physics process, and its experimental half-lives (T$_{1/2}$) exceed the age of the Universe from nine to fourteen orders of magnitude. Double-beta decay was observed, and its half-life…
Using the time-of-flight technique, we measured the beta-delayed neutron emission of $^{132}$Cd. From our large-scale shell model (LSSM) calculation using the N$^3$LO interaction [Z.Y. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 022501 (2023)], we…
Unexplained variations of the decay rate for weak interaction decays such as $\beta^{\pm}$-decay, electron capture, as well as strong interaction $\alpha$-decay have been reported. Some researcher interpreted these variations as caused by…
Highly forbidden $\beta$ decays provide a sensitive test to nuclear models in a regime in which the decay goes through high spin-multipole states, similar to the neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay process. There are only 3 nuclei ($^{50}$V,…
This paper is addressed to the analysis of the set of observables of the bound-state beta-decay, which can be used for the experimental investigation of contributions of i) interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM) and of ii) the…
