Abstract

Beta‐decay half‐lives for the free neutron, for 6He and 8He, and for 8Li are calculated ab initio from geometrical thermodynamics arguments, independently of any quantum mechanics. Half‐lives for the decay of 8Be to two alphas and for the disintegration of the tetraneutron are also calculated. The calculated values are close to those experimentally observed.
