description

Abstract A systematic study of the β− and β + EC decay transitions of odd-odd nuclei into the ground state, first excited quadrupole state (21+) and the two-quadrupole-phonon triplet (02ph+, 22ph+ and 42ph+) of the final even-even nuclei 110–114Cd and 114–122Sn is performed. In these cases the states of the even-even nucleus are fed both by β− as well as β + EC decay transitions of the two adjacent double-odd nuclei. Such exceptional circumstances help to study the β− and β + EC Gamow-Teller decay on equal footing starting from the predictions of the combined QRPA and pn-QRPA theories. In addition, the differences between the QRPA and the QTDA predictions are discussed. The present approach tests systematically the theoretical β− and β + EC matrix elements and might be used for identification of states belonging to the two-quadrupole-phonon multiplet in the spectra of the cadmium and tin isotopes.
