Abstract
An approach has been developed whereby the nuclear matrix elements can be calculated for the odd- and half of the even- beta-radioactive nuclei. The designation of nuclear states is made in accordance with the Mayer shell model and its extension by Nordheim to the even- nuclei. The transforming nucleon is assigned the wave functions of a Dirac particle in a "square-well" potential representing the nuclear "core." Expressions for the matrix elements have been determined and compared with the data. Consistent agreement is found for the tensor interaction.
