Research paperComputational DFTComputational AimdTheoreticalThe β-decay spectrum of Tritiated graphene: combining nuclear quantum mechanics with Density Functional TheoryAndrea Casale, Angelo Esposito, Guido Menichetti, Valentina TozziniarXiv·2026·10.3390/universe11090297·arXiv:2504.13259AbstractWe present a multi-methodological study of the interaction between graphene and tritium during its beta decay to helium, combining Density Functional Theory to evaluate interaction potentials with calculations of the decay rate, to study how the substrate affects the beta-decay spectrum. The work develops a computational scheme spanning different time scales and non-adiabatic nuclear configurations relevant to future neutrino experiments.Read more
