Additional ionization during nuclear ${\beta }^{\pm }$ decay in atomic systems

Abstract

An original method is developed for numerical calculations of probabilities of the bound-free atomic excitations during the nuclear ${\beta }^{\pm }$ decays in actual atoms and ions. To achieve this goal we have derived and tested the closed analytical formulas for the final state probabilities of different excitations in the few-electron atomic systems. This study is the first non-approximate and essentially complete investigation of the atomic bound-free excitations during the nuclear ${\beta }^{\pm }$ decays in atoms.
