Second-forbidden beta-decay and the effect of (V+A)- andS-interaction admixtures:36Cl

The shapefactor, the logft-value, the electron longitudinal polarization and the distribution of electrons emitted from oriented nuclei of³⁶Cl have been calculated by applying two different nuclear models. Firstly a pure 1d_3/2→1d_3/2 transition has been considered. Secondly a more refined shell model of thes-d shell configuration space has been taken into account. It is shown that there is no great influence of the shell model version to the observables, that the observables depend strongly on the relativistic nuclear matrix elements, that the so-called “two parameter equation” for the shapefactor cannot be used in the case of³⁶Cl and that there is no larger sensitivity of (V+A) admixtures to the electron longitudinal polarization than normally found in allowed decays. Comparisons with the existing experimental data are made.
