In the present work, we have reported $\beta^+$/EC-decay half-lives for $Z = 21 -30$ nuclei using large-scale shell-model. %and N $\leq$ A recent study shows that some proton-rich nuclei in this region belong to the island of inversion. We…

For a $Q \cdot Q$ interaction the energy weighted sum rule for isovector orbital magnetic dipole transitions is proportional to the difference $\sum B(E2, isoscalar) - \sum B(E2, isovector)$, not just to $\sum B(E2, physical)$. This fact is…

We point out a simplicity that arises when we use an interaction in which only an energy with odd J is non-zero. The emphasis is on J= J_{max} and in particular J=9+ in the g_{9/2} shell. It is noted that high overlaps can be deceptive. In…

Recent improvements in the experimental determination of properties of the Isovector Giant Quadrupole Resonance (IVGQR), as demonstrated in the A=208 mass region, may be instrumental for characterizing the isovector channel of the effective…

Electron capture and beta-decay rates on nuclei in the mass range A=45-65 play an important role in many astrophysical environments. The determination of these rates by large-scale shell model calculations is desirable, but it requires to…

Gamow-Teller and dipole transitions to final states in 13B were studied via the 13C(t,3He) reaction at Et = 115 AMeV. Besides the strong Gamow-Teller transition to the 13B ground state, a weaker Gamow-Teller transition to a state at 3.6 MeV…

Experimentally observed heaviest $N \approx Z$ nuclei, Ru isotopes, are investigated by the shell model on a spherical basis with the extended $P+QQ$ Hamiltonian. The energy levels of all the Ru isotopes can be explained by the shell model…

In order to comprehend the process underlying mirror energy differences in mirror pairs, we have performed shell-model calculations for $T_z= \pm 2$ $sd$-shell nuclei in the mass range $A$= 20 to 36 and neutron number varying from $N$= 8 to…

The g_{9/2} shell of identical particles is the first one for which one can have seniority-mixing effects. We consider three interactions: a delta interaction that conserves seniority, a quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) interaction that does not,…

Shell model calculations have been performed for the nucleus 94Mo. The calculated excitation energies and electromagnetic properties of low-lying states are in good agreement with the data, which include states with mixed-symmetry (MS)…

The influence of the isoscalar and isovector L=0 pairing components of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction is evaluated for several isobaric chains, in the framework of full pf shell model calculations. We show that the combined…

The low-spin structure of the semimagic 64Ni nucleus has been considerably expanded: combining four experiments, several 0+ and 2+ excited states were identified below 4.5 MeV, and their properties established. The Monte Carlo shell model…

We define the "quadrupole ratio" r_{Q}=\dfrac{Q_{0}(S)}{Q_{0}(B)} where Q_{0}(S) is the intrinsic quadrupole moment obtained from the static quadrupole moment of the 2_{1}^{+} state of an even-even nucleus and Q_{0}(B) the intrinsic…

The Lee-Suzuki iteration method is used to include the folded diagrams in the calculation of the two-body effective interaction $v^{(2)}_{\rm eff}$ between two nucleons in a no-core model space. This effective interaction still depends upon…

In a recent publication Zheng, Vary, and Barrett reproduced the negative quadrupole moment of Li-6 and the low-lying positive-parity states of He-5 by using a no-core shell model. In this Comment we question the meaning of these results by…

The quantum deformation concept is applied to a study of isovector pairing correlations in nuclei of the mass 40<A<100 region. While the non-deformed (q -> 1) limit of the theory provides a reasonable global estimate for strength parameters…

We present an analysis of two isovector scalar resonant contributions to the $B$ decays into charmonia plus $K\bar K$ or $\pi\eta$ pair in the perturbative QCD approach. The Flatt\'{e} model for the $a_0(980)$ resonance and the Breit Wigner…

We use the local hidden gauge approach in order to study the $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ interactions for isospin I=1. We show that both interactions via one light meson exchange are not allowed by OZI rule and, for that reason, we…

The expression for the short-range effective interaction potential of "quasinulei"\, is derived based on the model of the "pure"\, Coulomb interaction. This model represents the equilibrium Coulomb system (CS) of interacting electrons and…

The isovector and isotensor energy differences between yrast states of isobaric multiplets in the lower half of the $pf$ region are quantitatively reproduced in a shell model context. The isospin non-conserving nuclear interactions are…
