In the nucleus $^{48}$Ti, whose structure is essential in evaluating the half-life of the neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) of $^{48}$Ca, the existence of the $\alpha$ cluster structure is shown for the first time. A…
We present results from a search for neutrinoless double-$\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay using 36.6 g of the isotope $^{150}$Nd with data corresponding to a live time of 5.25 y recorded with the NEMO-3 detector. We construct a complete…
The half-lives of three $\beta$ decaying states of $^{131}_{~49}$In$_{82}$ have been measured with the GRIFFIN $\gamma$-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility to be $T_{1/2}(1/2^-)=328(15)$~ms, $T_{1/2}(9/2^+)=265(8)$~ms, and…
We report on the investigation of the population mechanism for the 454-KeV level in 71Cu. This level was identified for the first time in a recent Coulomb excitation measurement with a radioactive beam of 71Cu. The selective nature of the…
The low-energy structure and $\beta$ decay properties of the neutron-rich even-mass nuclei near the neutron number $N=60$ that are experimentally of much interest are investigated within the framework of the nuclear density functional…
Double-beta decay is a rare nuclear process in which two neutrons in the nucleus are converted to two protons with the emission of two electrons and two electron anti-neutrinos. We measured the half life of the two-neutrino double-beta…
We consider the possibility that neutrinoless double beta decay may occur in models with unbroken lepton number via the emission of a massive gauge boson with electron lepton number $-2$. We determine the shape of the $\beta\,\beta$ sum…
We study neutrinoless double-beta decay in extensions of the Standard Model that include $n$ right-handed neutrino singlets, with masses $m_s$ below the GeV scale. Generalizing recently developed matching methods, we determine the $m_s$…
In this work, we present a theoretical study of the electron spectral shapes for the second-forbidden nonunique $\beta^-$-decay transitions $^{59}\textrm{Fe}(3/2^-)\to\,^{59}\textrm{Co}(7/2^-)$ and…
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…
A new phase of 116Cd double beta decay experiment is in progress in the Solotvina Underground Laboratory. Four enriched 116CdWO4 scintillators with total mass 339 g are used in a set up, whose active shield is made of 15 natural CdWO4…
The $\beta$-decay properties of nuclei with neutron number $N = 126$ is investigated in this paper. Two different versions of the proton-neutron quasi particle random phase (pn-QRPA) model were employed to compute $\beta$-decay rates and…
We study the effects of the phonon-phonon coupling on the low-energy electric dipole response within a microscopic model based on an effective Skyrme interaction. The finite rank separable approach for the quasiparticle random phase…
An extended continuum-RPA approach is applied to describe direct-decay properties of spin giant resonances in $^{208}$Bi and $^{90}$Nb. Partial branching ratios for direct proton decay from these resonances are evaluated. The branching…
Microscopic determination of alpha-decay half-lives requires structure and reaction calculations. The structure part is given by the microscopic distribution of the constituent nucleons, while the relative motion of the product's decay…
The theoretical evaluation of major nuclear structure effects on the asymmetry of allowed Gamow-Teller beta-decay rates in light mirror nuclei is presented. The calculations are performed within the shell model, using empirical…
Two-neutrino double-beta ($2\nu\beta\beta$) decay has been used to constrain the neutron-proton part of effective interactions, which in turn is used to compute the nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-beta decay, the observation…
The current status of the experimental searches for rare alpha and beta decays is reviewed. Several interesting observations of alpha and beta decays, previously unseen due to their large half-lives ($10^{15} - 10^{20}$ yr), have been…
The $2\nu2\beta$ decay of $^{150}$Nd to the first excited 740.5 keV $0^{+}_{1}$ level of $^{150}$Sm was measured over 5.845 yr with the help of a four-crystal low-background HPGe $\gamma$ spectrometry system in the underground…
In recent years several new Majoron models were invented to avoid shortcomings of the classical models while leading to observable decay rates in double beta experiments. We give the first experimental half life bounds on double beta decays…
