Shell model results for nuclear β−-decay properties of sd-shell nuclei
Abstract We evaluate the allowed $\beta^-$-decay properties of nuclei with $Z = 8$–$15$ systematically under the framework of the nuclear shell model using the valence space Hamiltonians derived from modern ab initio methods, such as in-medium similarity renormalization group and coupled-cluster theory. For comparison we also show results obtained with fitted interaction derived from chiral effective field theory and phenomenological universal $sd$-shell Hamiltonian version B interaction. We have performed calculations for O $\rightarrow$ F, F $\rightarrow$ Ne, Ne $\rightarrow$ Na, Na $\rightarrow$ Mg, Mg $\rightarrow$ Al, Al $\rightarrow$ Si, Si $\rightarrow$ P, and P $\rightarrow$ S transitions. Theoretical results for $B(GT)$, $\log ft$ values, and half-lives are discussed and compared with the available experimental data.
