Abstract
The spherical quasiparticle random-phase approximation method is used for calculations of the -decay properties of neutron-rich nuclei in the region near the neutron magic numbers and which are important for determination of the -process path. Our calculations differ from previous works by the use of realistic forces for the proton-neutron interaction. Both allowed and first-forbidden decays are included. Detailed comparisons with the experimental measurements and the previous shell-model calculations are performed. The results for half-lives and -delayed neutron emission probabilities will serve as input for -process nucleosynthesis simulations.
