Research Abstract

The beta-decay half-lives of 38 neutron-rich isotopes (18 for first time) from Kr to Tc, which play important role in the r-process nucleosynthesis, have been measured. The results when compared with previous standard models indicate the overestimation in the predicted half-lives by a factor of 2 or more in the A~110 region. The results suggest a more rapid flow of the rapid neutron capture process (r-matter flow) through this region around mass A=110~125 than previously predicted.
