The self-consistent proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation approach is employed to calculate $beta$-decay half-lives of neutron-rich even-even nuclei with $8leqslant Z leqslant 30$. A newly proposed nonlinear point-coupling effective interaction PC-PK1 is used in the calculations. It is found that the isoscalar proton-neutron pairing interaction can significantly reduce $beta$-decay half-lives. With an isospin-dependent isoscalar proton-neutron pairing strength, our results well reproduce the experimental $beta$-decay half-lives, although the pairing strength is not adjusted using the half-lives calculated in this study.

In the present work we calculate the allowed $beta^-$-decay half-lives of nuclei with $Z = 20 -30$ and N $leq$ 50 systematically under the framework of the nuclear shell model. A recent study shows that some nuclei in this region belong to the island of inversion. We perform calculation for $fp$ shell nuclei using KB3G effective interaction. In the case of Ni, Cu, and Zn, we used JUN45 effective interaction. Theoretical results of $Q$ values, half-lives, excitation energies, log$ft$ values, and branching fractions are discussed and compared with the experimental data. In the Ni region, we also compared our calculated results with recent experimental data [Z. Y. Xu {it et al.}, emph{Phys. Rev. Lett.} textbf{113}, 032505, 2014]. Present results agree with the experimental data of half-lives in comparison to QRPA.

$beta$-decay properties of nuclei are investigated within the relativistic nuclear energy density functional framework by varying the temperature and density, conditions relevant to the final stages of stellar evolution. Both thermal and nuclear pair ing effects are taken into account in the description of nuclear properties and in the finite temperature proton-neutron relativistic quasiparticle random-phase approximation (FT-PNRQRPA) to calculate the relevant allowed and first-forbidden transitions in the $beta$-decay. The temperature and density effects are studied on the $beta$-decay half-lives between temperatures $T = 0-1.5$ MeV, and at densities $rho Y_e = 10^7$ g/cm${}^3$ and $10^9$ g/cm${}^3$. The relevant Gamow-Teller transitions are also investigated for Ti, Fe, Cd, and Sn isotopic chains at finite temperatures. We find that the $beta$-decay half-lives increase with increasing density $rho Y_e$, whereas half-lives generally decrease with increasing temperature. It is shown that the temperature effects decrease the half-lives considerably in nuclei with longer half-lives at zero temperature, while only slight changes for nuclei with short half-lives are obtained. We also show the importance of including the de-excitation transitions in the calculation of the $beta$-decay half-lives at finite temperatures. Comparing the FT-PNQRPA results with the shell-model calculations for $pf-$shell nuclei, a reasonable agreement is obtained for the temperature dependence of $beta$-decay rates. Finally, large-scale calculations of $beta$-decay half-lives are performed at temperatures $T_9(text{K}) = 5$ and $T_9(text{K}) = 10$ and densities $rho Y_e = 10^7$ g/cm${}^3$ and $10^9$ g/cm${}^3$ for even-even nuclei in the range $8 leq Z leq 82$, relevant for astrophysical nucleosynthesis mechanisms.
Artificial neural networks are trained by a standard backpropagation learning algorithm with regularization to model and predict the systematics of -decay of heavy and superheavy nuclei. This approach to regression is implemented in two alternative m odes: (i) construction of a statistical global model based solely on available experimental data for alpha-decay half-lives, and (ii) modeling of the {it residuals} between the predictions of state-of-the-art phenomenological model (specifically, the effective liquid-drop model (ELDM)) and experiment. Analysis of the results provide insights on the strengths and limitations of this application of machine learning (ML) to exploration of the nuclear landscape in regions beyond the valley of stability.

Spin-isospin transitions in nuclei away from the valley of stability are essential for the description of astrophysically relevant weak interaction processes. While they remain mainly beyond the reach of experiment, theoretical modeling provides impo rtant insight into their properties. In order to describe the spin-isospin response,vcthe proton-neutron relativistic quasiparticle random phase approximation (PN-RQRPA) is formulated using the relativistic density-dependent point coupling interaction, and separable pairing interaction in both the $T=1$ and $T=0$ pairing channels. By implementing recently established DD-PCX interaction with improved isovector properties relevant for the description of nuclei with neutron-to-proton number asymmetry, the isobaric analog resonances (IAR) and Gamow-Teller resonances (GTR) have been investigated. In contrast to other models that usually underestimate the IAR excitation energies in Sn isotope chain, the present model accurately reproduces the experimental data, while the GTR properties depend on the isoscalar pairing interaction strength. This framework provides not only an improved description of the spin-isospin response in nuclei, but it also allows future large scale calculations of charge-exchange excitations and weak interaction processes in stellar environment.
We have performed large-scale shell-model calculations of the half-lives and neutron-branching probabilities of the r-process waiting point nuclei at the magic neutron numbers N=50, 82, and 126. The calculations include contributions from allowed Gam ow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions. We find good agreement with the measured half-lives for the N=50 nuclei with charge numbers Z=28-32 and for the N=82 nuclei 129Ag and 130Cd. The contribution of forbidden transitions reduce the half-lives of the N=126 waiting point nuclei significantly, while they have only a small effect on the half-lives of the N=50 and 82 r-process nuclei.
