Abstract
We give results of microscopic calculations for the half-lives of various proton-rich nuclei in the mass region A = 60-90, which are involved in the astrophysical rp-process, and which are needed as input parameters of numerical simulations in Nuclear Astrophysics. The microscopic formalism consists of a deformed QRPA approach that involves a self-consistent quasiparticle deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock basis and residual spin-isospin separable forces in both the particle-hole and particle-particle channels. The strength of the particle-hole residual interaction is chosen to be consistent with the Skyrme effective force and mean-field basis, while that of the particle-particle is globally fixed to κ = 0.07 MeV after a judicious choice from comparison to experimental half-lives. We study and discuss the sensitivity of the half-lives to deformation and residual interactions. © Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2005.
