BETA - STRENGTH FUNCTION OF NEUTRON-RICH NUCLEI In calculation of weak process connected with -decay, -absorption, -delayed processes the Beta-Strength function S(E) plays the main role. S (E) - function for neutron-rich nuclei presented on Fig.1. S(E)– function has a resonance character with high lying Gamow-Teller (GTR) and Isobaric Analog (IAR) resonanses. Lower by energy are situated the so-called “pigmy resonanses”. The GTR with low going “tail” influence strongly on the average neutrino- absorption cross-section and on the charge-exchange reactions probabilities. “Pigmy resonanses” plays the main role in the T1/2 values, -delayed neutron emission, -delayed fission and in neutron emission after neutrino- absorption process. Fig. 1 Schema of S(E) – for function for neutron-rich nuclei and -delayed processes.
Calculation of Beta-Strength function in TFFS theory Beta-Strength function S(E) is formed by isobaric states in the Theory of Finite Fermy Systems (TFFS) calculated solving the nuclear effective field equations of Gamov – Teller type: In this equations all types of particle-hole quasiparticle excitations are included except of l – forbidden type.For the local single quasiparticle (στ) interaction g` constant used, included pion-exchanging mode: In our low energy case (ΔEpn< 20 MeV) the second pion-depending term is negligible. For the isovector constants f0and g0selfconsistent procedure was used. Beta-Strength function S(E) was calculated using matrix elements MGT : Normalization = Sum-rule:S(E) dE = eq2 .3 . ( N - Z ). For Emax = 20 MeV and eq = 0.8 quenching value is q = 0.64(for Emax =∞, eq = 1.0, q = 1.0 ).
Quasiclassical Beta - Model We change sums to integrals as usual in quasiclassic and come to the equations: , where = - , (j1-j2=1) a 1/3. b = b+ + b- 2/3

Predictions) show aveage Intensity of beta-decays into low lying states ~ 30% • QRPA – predictions Pin ~ 80% ~ Pbdf • TFFS predictions Pin~ 60% and Pbdf ~ 20% S Pin + Pbdf <100%

Solid line – TFFS calculations by Lutostansky and Shulgina (Phis. Rev. Lett. 1991). GTR and low-lying “pigmy” resonanses are well distinguished. The experimental qwenching is q = 0.54, theoretical: q = 0.64.
Pbdf: Masses, barriers: ETFSI Sb – quasiclassical approach on the basis of FFST(ТКФС); Gaponov, Lutostansky, Panov 1979
neutron-induced –g and -fission rates were calculated on the basis of the nextmass predictions and fission barriers: TF,ETFSI,FRDM,HFB-14 For explanation of yields in t.n.explosion: • Odd-even effect is reduced for HFB predictions • The initial composition should consist from U with admixture of some other actinides • Inversion of odd-even effect can appear due both bdf and Np (odd Z) admixture as well • Beta-delayed fission rates should be revised

Can we test the fission rates on the basis of the yields measured in impulse r-process experiments (thermonuclear explosions) ? • and what we can learn from the comparison of calculated and experimental data? • Compare results based on different predictions (Masses, Bf ); • Test odd-even dependence and inversion of odd-even effect • Whether the (n,f)-rates based on predicted fission barriers can fit the observed yields? • How the b-delayed fission affect on calculated yields?
