For the bound-muon decay process, the study of atomic effects on the electron spectrum near its endpoint is performed within the framework of the Fermi effective theory. The analysis takes into account for corrections due to…
We obtain the rate of growth of long strange segments and the rate of decay of infinite horizon ruin probabilities for a class of infinite moving average processes with exponentially light tails. The rates are computed explicitly. We show…
Recent experimental data are analyzed, concerning the half-lives of the 229mTh isomer in neutral atoms and various ions. Calculation is performed on the united platform of interplay of traditional and subthreshold resonance conversion.…
Isotopes with low-lying long-lived isomers can behave very differently from other isotopes in astrophysical environments. In particular, the assumption of thermal equilibrium in computing the temperature-dependent $\beta$-decay rates of…
We determine the spectrum of particles accelerated at shocks with arbitrary speed and arbitrary scattering properties for different choices of the equation of state of the downstream plasma. More specifically we consider the effect of…
Forthcoming experiments like Project8 and Ptolemy aim at investigating with high precision the end-point of the tritium $\beta$-decay spectrum sensitive to the neutrino mass. In light of this, using the standard parametrization in terms of…
Recent work has shown that in a non-thermal, multidimensional system, the trajectories in the activated complex possess different instantaneous and time-averaged reactant decay rates. Under dissipative dynamics, it is known that these…
The superallowed beta-decay rates that provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics are affected by nuclear structure effects through isospin-breaking corrections. The self-consistent isospin- and…
We study the effect of medium on radioactive alpha decay and other similar decays. The initial state in these type of decays is a quasi-bound state with energy greater than zero. Such a state has very large amplitude in the nuclear region…
Beta decay is a well-established and efficient probe of nuclear structure and provides important information also for halo nuclei. Detailed decay studies of near-dripline nuclei are challenging, but are now feasible due to the technical…
The decay of a massive pseudoscalar, scalar and U(1) boson into an electron-positron pair in the presence of strong electromagnetic backgrounds is calculated. Of particular interest is the constant-crossed-field limit, relevant for…
The decay process $B\to D^+ D^- \pi^0$ is an interesting channel for the investigation of CP violating effects in the $b-$ sector. We write down a decay amplitude constrained by a low-energy theorem, which also includes the contribution of…
We review several aspects of the recent theoretical progress in K and B decays including the impact of the top quark discovery on rare and CP violating decays. In particular we summarize the present status of next-to-leading QCD…
Reliable nuclear weak rates are key inputs for understanding the origin of heavy elements and constraining the environments of the corresponding stellar nucleosynthesis. We present the effective stellar $\beta^-$-decay rates of the $N=50,…
A search for $\alpha$ decay of naturally occurring osmium isotopes to the lowest excited levels of daughter nuclei has been performed by using an ultra-low-background Broad-Energy Germanium $\gamma$-detector with a volume of 112 cm$^3$ and…
Since the 1930s, and with very few exceptions, it has been assumed that the process of radioactive decay is a random process, unaffected by the environment in which the decaying nucleus resides. There have been instances within the past few…
For the vertex corrections to the partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z \to b\bar{b})$ involving the top quark only the leading terms of order $\alpha\alpha_s$ in the $1/M_t$ expansion are known. In this work we compute the missing next-to-leading…
We compute the spectrum of $\beta$-decay, assuming that (Majorana or Dirac) neutrinos propagate in constant potentials. We study the modifications of the spectrum due to the effect of these potentials. Data on tritium decay and on…
This novel work investigates the influence of the inspection system acceleration on the leakage signal in magnetic flux leakage type of non-destructive testing. The research is addressed both through designed experiments and simulations.…
The decay of an excited is shown to slow down in the presence of a photo detector. This is similar to the behavior of an atom in a mistuned cavity, and under the conditions of the quantum Zeno effect. No external perturbing field is applied…
