A novel method for stellar electron-capture rates of excited nuclear states

We propose a novel shell-model method to calculate stellar electron-capture (EC) rates of highly-excited nuclear states. This method is based on the Projected Shell Model that can incorporate high-order multi-quasiparticle configurations in a large model space. By taking the EC calculation from 59Co...
