Description
Theoretical research is conducted for interesting isotopes using nuclear shell model to predict level schemes, half-lives, and beta spectral shapes. Further studies of these aspects for isotopes of interest shine a light on different phenomena of such as reactor anti-neutrino anomaly in 92Rb, background effects of beta decays such as 214Pb in Dark Matter experiments, and helping Neutrino's mass research with Low-Q beta decay analysis.
The approach used in those different phenomena involves and highlights the necessity for further experimental data of nuclear observables such as half-lives, branching ratios, and beta spectral shape studies for further improving the theoretical predictions due to the uncertainty of the effective gA, beta decay Q-values, mesonic enhancement currents and the small relativistic nuclear matrix element.
We highlight the common features of all the different works mentioned to stress the importance and the interconnectedness of the nuclear physics field both in the Experimental and Theoretical fields.
