I noticed that when one plots the \beta+ decay half-lifes (as available
in nudat, for instance) two very very different patterns appear,
depending if Z>N or not.

It is the first time I see such thing; I had never plotter \beta+; and
\beta- does not cover the Z=N line. Has anybody seen this phenomena
commented in textbooks? My first impulse is to blame the Pauli Term in
Weizsaecker formula; it becomes zero, and then the electromagnetic
term dominates. But when I plot halflifes as a funcion of A, i am
unsure about how to relate the empirical dependence with this
theoretical term.
