$\beta^+$ and electron capture of fp shell nuclei with $Tz=-2$

Abstract

Allowed $\beta^+$ branches of very proton-rich $fp$ shell $Tz=-2$ nuclei at the proton drip-line are calculated in the full fp valence space. The $\beta^+$ decay half-lives calculated with the standard quenching factor ($g^{eff}_{A}/g_{A}$)=0.74 are in good agreement with existing experimental data. Detailed branching Gamow-Teller strength are predicted but comparison with experiment is still difficult since, in most cases, spectroscopic information is not yet available.
