Bound and continuum state ${\beta }^{-}$ decay of bare atoms: enhancement of decay rate and changes in ${\beta }^{-}$ decay branching

Arkabrata Gupta, Chirashree Lahiri, S. Sarkar

We have calculated rates of ${\beta }^{-}$ decay to both continuum and bound states separately for some fully ionized (bare) atoms in the mass range A $\approx$ 60-240. One of the motivat…
