Correlations of $Q_{\beta }$-values with symmetry energy and effective mass studied within Skyrme energy--density functionals

Futoshi Minato, Yifei Niu, Kenichi Yoshida

The $\beta$-decay half-lives of nuclei are sensitive to the values of $Q_{\beta }$. For accurate theoretical predictions, it is essential to develop an effective interaction or an energy dens…
