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…
$\beta$-decay properties of nuclei are investigated within the relativistic nuclear energy density functional framework by varying the temperature and density, conditions relevant to the final stages of stellar evolution. Both thermal and…
$\alpha$ decay is a common and important process for natural radioactivity of heavy and superheavy nuclei. The $\alpha$ decay half-lives for even-even nuclei from Z=62 to Z=118 are systematically researched based on the two-potential…
Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) is a widely used technique in many experimental analysis. In this study, we specifically aimed to assess the effectiveness of PSD in accurately measuring decay time. We measured the decay times of a 0.1 wt%…
We reanalyze the decay constants of s-wave and p-wave mesons and D, B ->M form factors, where M represents a pseudoscalar meson, a vector meson, a scalar meson, or an axial vector meson within a covariant light-front quark model. The…
The half lives are calculated for the process of $\beta^\pm$ decay and electron capture for nuclei in mass range $\sim$ 65 - 100 relevant for the core of a massive star at late burning stage of steller evolution that leads to supernova…
The analysis of correlations between fluctuations of alpha- and beta-decay rates for different radio-active elements is carried out. These fluctuations exceed significantly errors of measurements in many cases. They have the periodical…
The upper limit on the mass of the Majorana neutrino, extracted from the limits on the nonobservation of the neutrinoless double-$\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay, is hampered by uncertainties in the matrix elements of the transition…
$\alpha$ decay occurs in both ground states and isomers of nuclei. In this work, we use the two-potential approach to systematically study whether isomeric states play a key role on $\alpha$ particle clustering or not. The results indicate…
Only phase space is typically used to obtain final state particle spectra in rare decay searches, which is a crude approximation in the case of three body processes. We will demonstrate how both dynamics and phase space can be approximately…
We investigate the quark-level effective operators related to the neutrinoless double beta $(0\nu\beta\beta)$ decay process, and their ultraviolet completions relevant to chiral enhancement effects at the hadronic level. We have classified…
The rare second-class decay mode of the $\tau$ into $\eta\pi\nu$ could be observed for the first time at Belle II. It is important to try to derive a reliable evaluation of the branching fraction and of the energy distribution of this mode…
Neutrinoless double beta decay, which is a very old and yet elusive process, is reviewed. Its observation will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are Majorana particles. More importantly it is our best hope for…
The nuclear matrix elements $M^{0\nu}$ of the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) of most nuclei with known $2\nu\beta\beta$-decay rates are systematically evaluated using the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA)…
The abBA collaboration proposes to conduct a comprehensive program of precise measurements of neutron $\beta$-decay coefficients $a$ (the correlation between the neutrino momentum and the decay electron momentum), $b$ (the electron energy…
We calculate the nuclear matrix element (NME), effective axial-vector current coupling $g_A^\mathrm{eff}$, and half-life of the double-$\beta$ ($\beta\beta$) decay using the transition operator perturbed by the nuclear interaction. The…
After identifying the nuclei in the regions near A =80 and A = 160 for which beta-decay rates have the greatest effect on weak and main r-process abundance patterns, we apply the finite-amplitude method (FAM) with Skyrme energy-density…
The analytical formulae for the phase space factors and the three-momenta of three- and four-body final states are derived for all sets of independent kinematic variables containing invariant mass variables. These formulae will help…
A simple model is used to estimate the Q factor in numerical simulations of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) with optical delay demodulation and balanced detection. It is found that an alternative definition of Q is needed for DPSK in…
The ratio of the alpha-decay widths of a bare nucleus and the related atom is calculated. Both the change of the form and thus the penetrability of the potential barrier and the effect of reflection in the classically-allowed region…
