MQPM description of the structure and beta decays of the odd image Mo and Tc isotopes

The odd-mass isotopes image of molybdenum are of interest for neutrino-physics applications. The microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model (MQPM) is used to calculate energy and decay characteristics of these nuclei and their beta-decay partners (image and image). A realistic single-particle valence space and two-body interaction are used in the calculations. The computed results are compared with available data. The obtained energy spectra are also compared with earlier calculations. We present the first ever calculations for the rates of allowed and forbidden image decay transitions in these nuclei. In general our computed numbers agree rather well with the available data.
