We have calculated the Gamow-Teller matrix elements of 64 decays of nuclei in the mass range A=41--50. In all the cases the valence space of the full pf-shell is used. Agreement with the experimental results demands the introduction of an…

Statistical $\gamma$-decay from highly excited states is determined by the nuclear level density (NLD) and the $\gamma$-ray strength function ($\gamma$SF). These average quantities have been measured for several nuclei using the Oslo…

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…

We present a microscopic calculation of $\alpha$-cluster formation in heavy nuclei $^{104}$Te ($\alpha$+$^{100}$Sn), $^{212}$Po ($\alpha$+$^{208}$Pb) and their neighbors $^{102}$Sn, $^{102}$Te, $^{210}$Pb and $^{210}$Po by using the…

An analysis of the $\alpha$ + core properties of $^{104}$Te along with a global discussion on the $\alpha$-cluster structure above the double-shell closures is presented from the viewpoint of the local potential model. The $\alpha$ + core…

In an experiment performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) using the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi), 15 new half lives of isotopes near $^{54}$Ca were measured. A new method of extracting lifetimes from experimental data,…

The decimal logarithm of spontaneous fission half-life of the superheavy nucleus $^{286}$Fl experimentally determined is $\log_{10} T_f^{exp} (s) = -0.632$. We present a method to calculate the half-life based on the cranking inertia and…
