The Beta Decay of 44V

Abstract

We have calculated the ${\beta }^{+}$ decay of the proton rich nuclei ${}^{44}$V in a full fp-shell valence space. We obtain a theoretical half-life of 71~ms compared with the experimental value t${}_{1/2}$ = 90 $\pm$ 25 ms. Besides, we make predictions for the Gamow-Teller strength functions corresponding to the decays of the 2${}^{+}$ ground state and 6${}^{+}$ isomer state.
