Large-Scale Calculations of -Decay Rates and Implications for -Process Nucleosynthesis
A. Ravlić, Y. Saito, W. Nazarewicz
Nuclear decay is a key element of the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process (-process). In this paper, we present state-of-the-art global -decay calculations based…
Beta-decay Half Lives beyond Ca: A Systematic Survey of Decay Properties approaching the Neutron Dripline
W. -J. Ong, Z. Y. Xu, R. Grzywacz +83
In an experiment performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) using the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi), 15 new half lives of isotopes near Ca were measured.…
Surrogate Models for Linear Response
L. Jin, A. Ravlić, P. Giuliani +2
Linear response theory is a well-established method in physics and chemistry for exploring excitations of many-body systems. In particular, the quasiparticle random-phase approxima…
Effect of Finite-Temperature -Decay Rates on the Rapid Neutron Capture Process
Yukiya Saito, Ante Ravlić, Pranav Nalamwar +1
-decay is known to play an essential role in the rapid neutron capture process (-process) during equilibrium and freeze-out when the neutron-r…
Electron capture of superheavy nuclei with realistic lepton wave functions
A. Ravlić, P. Schwerdtfeger, W. Nazarewicz
The superheavy nuclei push the periodic table of the elements and the chart of the nuclides to their limits, providing a unique laboratory for studies of the electron-nucleus inter…
Self-consistent microscopic calculations for electron captures on nuclei in core-collapse supernovae
A. Ravlić, S. Giraud, N. Paar +1
Calculations for electron capture rates on nuclei with atomic numbers between and are performed in a self-consistent finite-temperature covariant energy density funct…
