Continuum QRPA framework based

  • n the self-consistent g.s. from EDF theory.

DF+CQRPA A quest for spin-current part of (universal) NDF Nuclear structure at the limit of a high (N-Z). Important applications:

  • RNB experiments on beta-decay of short-lived neutron-rich nuclei.
  • Astrophysical R-process modeling (masses, beta-rates, (n,γ)- rates…).
  • Accelerator Driven Systems (1GeV p + 208Pb and 238U targets).

The ground state properties are less sensitive to spin-isospin components of EDF. The spin-isospin (time odd) parts of the effective NN-interaction can be defined independently of the scalar (time-even) parts.

Qβ – values: maximal beta-decay energy releases

DFs with m*/M~1 reproduce Qβ–values well enough : For N=82 Typical deviation from the data is 0.5 - 1.5 MeV For N=126 Deviation is 0.5 - 0.6 MeV

(Recent RDFs underestimate the phase-space,

  • vershooting T1/2)

Accurate description of the Qβ-values is crucial for beta-decay studies. Qβ is correlated with the qp-energies, as both are obtained from the same DF framework. Extended mass measurements at N=126 are of high value for impr Extended mass measurements at N=126 are of high value for improving the DF

Competition of GT and high-energy FF decays for heavier Z = 60 - 82 , N approaching Nmag=126.

  • Signatures of the GT/FF competition: “saturation-like” and

“saw-like’ patterns in Pn(A) behavior.

  • The shorter half-lives make evolution faster , break through

the N=126 waiting points faster. The matter flow to heavier (fissioning) nuclei should be also faster in DF3+CQPRA. .
