Global Description of Beta Decay with the Axially-Deformed Skyrme Finite Amplitude Method: Extension to Odd-Mass and Odd-Odd Nuclei
E. M. Ney, J. Engel, N. Schunck
We use the finite amplitude method (FAM), an efficient implementation of the quasiparticle random phase approximation, to compute beta-decay rates with Skyrme energy-density functi…

Constraints for stellar electron-capture rates on Kr via the Kr(,He)Br reaction and the implications for core-collapse supernovae
R. Titus, E. M. Ney, R. G. T. Zegers +20
In the late stages of stellar core-collapse, prior to core bounce, electron captures on medium-heavy nuclei drive deleptonization and simulations require the use of accurate reacti…

Experimental Constraint on Stellar Electron-Capture Rates from the reaction at 115 MeV/u
J. C. Zamora, R. G. T. Zegers, Sam M. Austin +22
The Gamow-Teller strength distribution from Sr was extracted from a experiment at 115 MeV/ to constrain estimates for the electron-capture rates…
