Abstract
Half-lives for Gamow-Teller β-decay of very neutron-rich nuclei have been calculated using the RPA shell-model code of Krumlinde and Müller. For the examples of the isotope sequences of 27Co and 37Rb, and of nuclei around 132Sn it is demonstrated that close agreement between experiment and theory can be obtained, provided an appropriate choice of model parameters is made for each mass region. On the basis of this agreement, T1/2 predictions for isotopes up to the r-process path are made and compared to earlier model calculations. Possible implications of the results on the site and the cycle time of the r-process are discussed.
