The effects of the enhancement of the axial-charge matrix element γ5 were studied in medium heavy
and heavy nuclei for first-forbidden J+ ↔ J− decay transitions using the nuclear shell model. Noticeable
dependence on the enhancement MEC of the axial-charge matrix element, as well as on the value of the
axial-vector coupling constant gA was found in the spectral shapes of 93Y, 95Sr, and 97Y. The importance
of the spectrum of 138Cs in the determination of gA is discussed. Half-life analyses in the A ≈ 95 and
A ≈ 135 regions were done, and consistent results gA ≈ 0.90, 0.75, and 0.65, corresponding to the three
enhancement scenarios MEC = 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0, were obtained. Connection to the reactor-antineutrino
anomaly is pointed out.

First-forbidden transitions in reactor antineutrino spectra
Hayen, L.; Kostensalo, Joel; Severijns, N.; Suhonen, Jouni (American Physical Society, 2019)We study the dominant forbidden transitions in the antineutrino spectra of the fission actinides from 4 MeV onward using the nuclear shell model. Through explicit calculation of the shape factor, we show the expected changes ... -

Spectral shapes of second-forbidden single-transition nonunique β decays assessed using the nuclear shell model
Ramalho, Marlom; Suhonen, Jouni; Neacsu, Andrei; Stoica, Sabin (Frontiers Media, 2024)Experimental and theoretical studies of β electrons (electrons emitted in β−-decaytransitions) and their β-electron spectra have recently experienced a rapid expansion. These β spectral shapes have been used to study total ...
