Beta decay and structure of exotic nuclei in the mass regions N=Z, A≃70 and near the N=20 closed shell

Abstract

This paper describes two beta decay experiments performed at the CERN/ISOLDE mass separator. The structure of 74Kr has been studied using a total absorption γ spectrometer (TAgS). The measured Gamow-Teller strength is presented and compared to HFBCS+QRPA calculations. The 33Na decay is also presented. The structure of the 33Mg daughter nucleus is compared to shell-model calculations, showing for the first time an inversion of states in the A≃35 mass region.
