Selection rules for beta and gamma particle transitions in strongly deformed nuclei

Abstract

Abstract In the present paper we give a complete list of selection rules for beta and gamma particle transitions in strongly deformed nuclei. For the beta decay the list covers all transitions up to the second forbidden ones, while for the gamma decay the selection rules are given for the electric and magnetic dipole, quadrupole, and octupole transitions. This list represents a slight correction and enlargement of the selection rules already given in ref. 5). References to the papers making use of the selection rules in classifying nuclear states and explaining relative beta and gamma intensities are given at the end of the article.
