Beyond-mean-field calculations of allowed and first-forbidden ${\beta }^{-}$ decays of $r$-process waiting-point nuclei

Caroline Robin, Elena Litvinova, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo

$\beta$-decay rates of neutron-rich nuclei, in particular those located at neutron shell closures, play a central role in simulations of the heavy-element nucleosynthesis and resulting…
