Calculations of the β-decay half-lives of neutron-deficient nuclei

In this work,β~+/EC decays of some medium-mass nuclei are investigated within the extended quasiparticle random-phase approximation(QRPA),where neutron-neutron,proton-proton and neutron-proton(np) pairing correlations are taken into consideration in the specialized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) transformation.In addition to the pairing interaction,the Br¨uckner G-matrix obtained with the charge-dependent Bonn nucleon-nucleon force is used for the residual particle-particle and particle-hole interactions.Calculations are performed for even-even proton-rich isotopes ranging from Z =24 to Z =34.It is found that the np pairing interaction plays a significant role inβ-decay for some nuclei far from stability.Compared with other theoretical calculations,our calculations show good agreement with the available experimental data.Predictions of β-decay half-lives for some very neutron-deficient nuclei are made for reference.
