Abstract
The effect of tensor interaction on the β-decay properties of the neutron-rich 132Sn nucleus is studied based on Skyrme forces. It is demonstrated within the random phase approximation that an enhancement of the neutron-proton tensor interaction leads to an increase in the energy of Gamow-Teller transitions and a reduction in the half-life period.
