TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of the Lipkin-Nogami version of the BCS method is examined and compared with other methods, for the ground and 0+ excited states of a symmetric two-level model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical treatment of auto-ionization in β-decay is presented; a one-step model is assumed and explicit account is taken of the indistinguishability of the two continuum negatons.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for inner shell electron ejection in nuclear α-decay is proposed, which accounts for the change of the electron Hamiltonian on nuclear decay, treats the α-motion classically as it emerges and also includes the effect on the electron due to nuclear recoil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the model for auto-ionization in the K-shell is extended to the L-shell and the comparison between the calculated and available experimental results is not as straightforward as for the k-shell case, due to complications arising from fluorescence yields and Coster-Kronig vacancy shifting probabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the model presented previously for auto-ionization in β-decay is extended to deal with orbital-electron capture, and available experimental data are reviewed critically in order to effect a useful comparison with theoretical predictions.
