Abstract

In this work, the ft values of the 0+→0+ superallowed Fermi beta decays have been investigated. In the calculations, the shell model has been modified by Pyatov’s restoration method because of the isospin breaking and the transition matrix elements have been found by means of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA).
