THE EXPRESSIONS FOR THE SUPER-ALLOWED BETA-DECAY RATES IN THE CORIOLIS COUPLING MODEL: APPLICATION TO THE 1d_5/2 SHELL NUCLEI

Abstract

The expressions for super-allowed beta-decay transition rates have been derived within the context of the Coriolis coupling model. The derived expressions, valid for the beta-decay between any two mirror nuclei, have been applied to calculate super-allowed beta-decay transition rates of 21 Na , 23 Mg , 25 Al , and 27 Si . Without the use of any hindrance factor, the calculated rates agree well with the data and also with the calculations done using the shell model with configuration admixture.
