Atomic excitations during the nuclear ß- decay in light atoms

Abstract

Probabilities of various final states are determined numerically for a number of ß- decaying light atoms. In our evaluations of the final state probabilities we have used the highly accurate atomic wave functions constructed for each few-electron atom/ion. We also discuss an experimental possibility to observe negatively charged ions which form during the nuclear ß+ decays. High order corrections to the results obtained for ß+/- decays in few-electron atoms with the use of sudden approximation are considered.
