We explore Gamow-Teller and forbidden β decays within an effective theory. In the effective theory, nuclei are described as spherical cores coupled to a neutron and/or proton, depending on the nucleus of interest. We calculate the matrix elements for β decays into low-lying states of the daughter nucleus and estimate the associated theoretical uncertainty based on the power counting and Bayesian methods. Our results for Gamow-Teller and unique first-forbidden β decays are in good agreement with experiment within the estimated uncertainties.
