RPA and its quasiparticle generalization (QRPA) have been widely used to study electromagnetic transitions and beta decays in medium and heavy nuclei, being the pn-QRPA charge exchange mode extensively employed in the description of single and double betadecays in vibrational nuclei. However develops a collapse, i.e. it presents imaginary eigenvalues for strengths beyond a critical value of the force. Extensions called renormalized QRPA (RQRPA) do not develop any collapse going beyond the simplest quasiboson approximation, however they present several drawbacks which will be analyzed.
