5 Calculating β Decay is Hard Though, As We ll See, It Gets a Bit Easier in Neutron-Rich Nuclei To calculate β decay between two states, you need: an accurate value for the decay energy E (since contribution to rate E 5 for allowed decay). matrix elements of the decay operator στ and forbidden" operators rτ, rστ between the two states. The operator τ turns a neutron into a proton; the allowed decay operator does that while flipping spin. Most of the time the decay operator leaves you above threshold, by the way.

The operator τ turns a neutron into a proton; the allowed decay operator does that while flipping spin. Most of the time the decay operator leaves you above threshold, by the way. So nuclear structure model must do good job with masses, spectra, and wave functions, in many isotopes.

8 Modern Alternative: Skyrme Dens.-Func. Theory Started as zero-range effective potential, treated in mean-field theory: V Skyrme = t ( + x P σ ) δ(r r ) + [ ] t ( + x P σ ) ( ) δ(r r ) + h.c. + t ( + x P σ ) ( ) δ(r r )( ) + 6 t 3 ( + x 3 P σ ) δ(r r )ρ α ([r + r ]/) + iw (σ + σ ) ( ) δ(r r )( ) where P σ +σ σ. Re-framed as density functional, which can then be extended: ( ) E = d 3 r H even + H }{{ odd +H } kin. + H em H Skyrme H odd has no effect in mean-field description of time-reversal even states (e.g. ground states), but large effect in β decay.
9 Time-Even and Time-Odd Parts of Functional Not including pairing: t { H even = C ρ t ρ tt 3 + C ρ t ρ tt3 ρ tt3 + Ct τ ρ tt3 τ tt3 H odd = t= t 3 = t t= t 3 = t t Time-even densities: } + C J t ρ tt3 J tt3 + C J t J tt 3 { Ct s s tt 3 + Ct s s tt3 s tt3 + Ct T s tt3 T tt3 + C j t j tt 3 } + C j t s tt3 j tt3 + Ct F s tt3 F tt3 + Ct s ( s tt3 ) ρ = usual density τ = kinetic density J = spin-orbit current Time-odd densities: s = spin current T = kinetic spin current j = usual current Couplings are connected by Skyrme interaction, but can be set independently if working directly with density-functional.
10 Starting Point: Mean-Field-Like Calculation (HFB) Gives you ground state density, etc. This is where Skyrme functionals have made their living. Zr-: normal density and pairing density HFB, -D lattice, SLy4 + volume pairing Ref: Artur Blazkiewicz, Vanderbilt, Ph.D. thesis (5) β β
11 QRPA QRPA done properly is time-dependent HFB with small harmonic perturbation. Perturbing operator is β-decay transition operator. Decay matrix elements obtained from response of nucleus to perturbation. Schematic QRPA of Möller et al. is very simplified version of this. No fully self-consistent mean-field calculation to start. Nucleon-nucleon interaction is schematic.
