$beta$-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 pairing 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.

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.

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.
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.

Based on the recent data in NUBASE2012, an improved empirical formula for evaluating the $alpha$-decay half-lives is presented, in which the hindrance effect resulted from the change of the ground state spins and parities of parent and daughter nucle i is included, together with a new correction factor for nuclei near the shell closures. The calculated $alpha$-decay half-lives are found to be in better agreements with the experimental data, and the corresponding root-mean-square (rms) deviation is reduced to $0.433$ when the experimental $Q$-values are employed. Furthermore, the $Q$-values derived from different nuclear mass models are used to predict $alpha$-decay half-lives with this improved formula. It is found that the calculated half-lives are very sensitive to the $Q$-values. Remarkably, when mass predictions are improved with the radial basis function (RBF), the resulting rms deviations can be significantly reduced. With the mass prediction from the latest version of Weizs{a}cker-Skyrme (WS4) model, the rms deviation of $alpha$-decay half-lives with respect to the known data falls to $0.697$.

The $beta$-decay half-lives of 55 neutron-rich nuclei $^{134-139}$Sn, $^{134-142}$Sb, $^{137-144}$Te, $^{140-146}$I, $^{142-148}$Xe, $^{145-151}$Cs, $^{148-153}$Ba, $^{151-155}$La were measured at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) employing the projectile fission fragments of $^{238}$U. The nuclear level structure, which relates to deformation, has a large effect on the half-lives. The impact of newly-measured half-lives on modeling the astrophysical origin of the heavy elements is studied in the context of $r$ process nucleosynthesis. For a wide variety of astrophysical conditions, including those in which fission recycling occurs, the half-lives have an important local impact on the second ($A$ $approx$ 130) peak.
