Shell-model half-lives for the N=82 nuclei and their implications for the r-process

Abstract

We have performed large-scale shell-model calculations of the half-lives and neutron-branching probabilties of the r-process waiting point nuclei at the magic neutron number N=82. We find good agreement with the measured half-lives of 129Ag and 130Cd. Our shell-model half-lives are noticeably shorter than those currently adopted in r-process simulations. Our calculation suggests that 130Cd is not produced in beta-flow equilibrium with the other N=82 isotones on the r-process path.
