CALCULATION OF THE log(ft) VALUES FOR THE ALLOWED GAMOW-TELLER TRANSITIONS IN DEFORMED NUCLEI USING THE BASIS OF WOODS-SAXON WAVE FUNCTIONS

The present study investigates the log(ft) values of the allowed decay between odd-A deformed nuclei in the atomic mass regions of and . Single particle energies and wave functions have been calculated with a deformed WoodsSaxon potential. Calculations have been performed within the framework of a proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA), including the schematic residual spinisospin interaction between nucleons in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels. It has been seen that the results obtained by using the values for the fixed particle-hole and particleparticle interaction strengths,  ! #"$ &%$' (*) +-, and . / 0 21 3"$ &%$' (*) + , , have good agreement with the experimental observations.
