The β-decay rates of 60Ca have been studied within a microscopic model, which is based on the Skyrme interaction T45 to construct single-particle and phonon spaces. We observe a redistribution of the Gamow–Teller strength due to the phonon-phonon coupling, considered in the model. For 60Sc, the spin-parity of the ground state is found to be 1+. We predict that the half-life of 60Ca is 0.3 ms, while the total probability of the βxn emission is 6:1%. Additionally, the random matrix theory has been applied to analyze the statistical properties of the 1+ spectrum populated in the β-decay to elucidate the obtained results.

Abstract The β--decay half-lives of extremely neutron-rich nuclei are important for understanding nucleosynthesis in the r-process. However, most of their half-lives are unknown or very uncertain, leading to the need for reliable calculations. In this study, we updated the coefficients in recent semi-empirical formulae using the newly updated mass (AME2020) and half-life (NUBASE2020) databases to improve the accuracy of the half-life prediction. In particular, we developed a new empirical model for better calculations of the β--decay half-lives of isotopes ranging in Z = 10 – 80 and N = 15-130. We examined the β--decay half-lives of the extremely neutron-rich isotopes at and around the neutron magic numbers of N = 50, 82, and 126 using either five different semi-empirical models or finite-range droplet model and quasi-particle random phase approximation (FRDM+QRPA) method. The β--decay rates derived from the estimated half-lives were used in calculations to evaluate the impact of the half-life uncertainties of the investigated nuclei on the abundance of the r-process. The results show that the half-lives mostly range in 0.001 < T1/2 < 100 s for the nuclei with a ratio of N/Z < 1.9; however, they differ significantly for those with the ratio of N/Z > 1.9. The half-life differences among the models were found to range from a few factors (for N/Z < 1.9 nuclei) to four orders of magnitude (for N/Z > 1.9). These discrepancies lead to a large uncertainty, which is up to four orders of magnitude, in the r-process abundance of isotopes. We also found that the multiple-reflection time-of-flight (MR-TOF) technique is preferable for precise mass measurements because its measuring timescale applies to the half-lives of the investigated nuclei. Finally, the results of this study are useful for studies on the β-decay of unstable isotopes and astrophysical simulations.
