“…This problem has attracted significant theoretical attention (see, e.g., Refs. [1,[5][6][7]), since various β − -decaying nuclei are of great interest in various applications to modern technology, scientific research, nuclear medicine, and so on. For instance, the β − -decaying isotope iodine-131 ( 131 I, so-called radioiodine) is extensively used in nuclear medicine both diagnostically and therapeutically.…”

Probabilities of various final states are determined numerically for β − -decaying He, Li, and Be atoms. In our evaluations of the final-state probabilities we have used the highly accurate atomic wave functions constructed for each few-electron atom or ion. We also discuss an experimental possibility to observe negatively charged ions which form during the nuclear β + decays. Corrections on direct interaction between atomic electrons and fast β electrons or positrons are considered. It is shown that for our results obtained for β ± decays in few-electron atoms with the use of the sudden approximation such corrections are very small (≈α 4 ) and can be neglected.

“…Consequently, the electrons are knocked out and the electron is ionized [34]. The theory of ionization was introduced by Migdal [21,22], Feinberg [20], [27] and Schwartz [26] and recently reinvestigated by Frolov [35,54] and Wauters et al [36].…”

“…Therefore the first such calculations employed highly accurate Hylleraas-type wave functions [10,11,27]. Kolos found [31] that the values obtained with wave functions within the one-electron approximation lead to smaller transition probabilities than the correlated wave functions (Hylleraas-type [42]).…”

In this review we study the level of accuracy of the electronic wave functions which is necessary to describe properly the atomic effects during nuclear β-decay. In the case of the β − -decay in the Li atom into Be + ion we compare the numerical values of the transition probabilities from the S, P , D low-lying states of the initial atom and final ion calculated using both Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction (Hy-CI) and Configuration Interaction (CI) with Slater orbitals wave functions. In addition using the CI method the transition probabilities from F , G, H and I low-lying states have been calculated. The average of the absolute deviation of the transition probabilities distribution for low-lying S states is < 0.15%, for P states < 0.5%, and larger for D-and higher energy states.The numerical results demonstrate that for low-lying states the atomic effect parameters in β-decay can be calculated with sufficient accuracy using CI wave functions constructed with Slater orbitals. This result opens a new avenue for the accurate calculation of atomic effects during the β-decay in heavier atoms and molecules. *
