Abstract
The research on supernovae explosions is one of the most exciting fields in astrophysics. Recent studies show that the electron capture and beta decay play key roles in supernovae explosions. In this paper, the half-lives of some iron group nuclei by β−-decay are investigated due to shell effect, pair effect, and the changes of the decay energy. We also discuss the influence of strong electron screening (SES) on the electron energy, beta decay threshold energy, and the antineutrino energy loss rates (AELR) in β− decay. The AELR increases, and the screening enhancement factor can get to 4.684 in SES due to Q-value correction, shell and pairing effect. The AELR can be suppressed at lower density and higher temperature environment (e.g., 0.1 < ρ7 < 800, T9 > 30). The screening enhancement factor decreases about 14.10% (e.g., for 56Ni).
