Forbidden nonuniqueβdecays and effective values of weak coupling constants
2016
Forbidden nonunique $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decays feature shape functions that are complicated combinations of different nuclear matrix elements and phase-space factors. Furthermore, they depend in a very nontrivial way on the values of the weak coupling constants, ${g}_{\mathrm{V}}$ for the vector part and ${g}_{\mathrm{A}}$ for the axial-vector part. In this work we include also the usually omitted second-order terms in the shape functions to see their effect on the computed decay half-lives and electron spectra ($\ensuremath{\beta}$ spectra). As examples we study the fourth-forbidden nonunique ground-state-to-ground-state ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay branches of $^{113}\ma…
Forbidden nonunique β decays and effective values of weak coupling constants
2016
Forbidden nonunique β decays feature shape functions that are complicated combinations of different nuclear matrix elements and phase-space factors. Furthermore, they depend in a very nontrivial way on the values of the weak coupling constants, gV for the vector part and gA for the axial-vector part. In this work we include also the usually omitted second-order terms in the shape functions to see their effect on the computed decay half-lives and electron spectra (β spectra). As examples we study the fourth-forbidden nonunique ground-state-to-ground-state β− decay branches of 113Cd and 115In using the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model and the nuclear shell model. A striking new feature …
