ABSTRACT

Going beyond spectra, magnetic and quadrupole moments and transition strengths, DSM has been applied to GT distributions and electron capture rates which are of astrophysical significance, electron scattering, muonelectron conversion, dark matter detection and double beta decay. In this chapter we will describe the results for GT distributions, muon-electron conversion and dark matter and in the next chapter the focus will be on double beta decay. The readers are referred to Refs. [108] and [109] for an initial study of electron capture rates and electron scattering respectively.
