The Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths in fp-shell nuclei are important parameters in presupernova models. A high-energy-resolution (He-3,t) experiment was performed on the T-z=1 nucleus Ti-46 at 0(degrees) and at an intermediate incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon for the study of precise GT transition strengths to the final T-z=0 nucleus V-46. With an energy resolution of 33 keV, individual GT transitions were observed and GT strengths were derived for them up to the excitation energy of 4.5 MeV. The GT strengths were compared with shell-model calculations using various effective interactions. In this low-lying region, most GT states have isospin T=0. A few GT states with isospin T=1 were identified from the existence of the corresponding (analog) M1 states in Ti-46. By comparing the GT strength with the corresponding (analogous) M1 transition strength studied in Ti-46(e,e(')) or (gamma,gamma(')) measurements, a large constructive interference of orbital and spin terms was suggested for one of these M1 transitions.

The Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths in fp -shell nuclei are important parameters in presupernova models. A high-energy-resolution ( 3 He ,t ) experiment was performed on the T z = 1 nucleus 46 Ti at 0 ◦ and at an intermediate incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon for the study of precise GT transition strengths to the final T z = 0 nucleus 46 V. With an energy resolution of 33 keV, individual GT transitions were observed and GT strengths were derived for them up to the excitation energy of 4.5 MeV. The GT strengths were compared with shell-model calculations using various effective interactions. In this low-lying region, most GT states have isospin T = 0. A few GT states with isospin T = 1 were identified from the existence of the corresponding (analog) M 1 states in 46 Ti. By comparing the GT strength with the corresponding (analogous) M 1 transition strength studied in 46 Ti( e, e )or( γ,γ ) measurements, a large constructive interference of orbital and spin terms was suggested for one of these M 1 transitions ispartof: Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics vol:73 issue:2 status: published

A high energy-resolution B-11 (He-3,t)C-11 experiment was performed at 0degrees and an intermediate incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon for the study of precise Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths. Two doublet states at approximate to4.5 and approximate to8.4 MeV were clearly resolved with a resolution of 45 keV. The strengths are compared with a calculation using an ab initio no-core shell model, which became available for the A=11 system recently. It was found that a calculation including a three-nucleon interaction better reproduces the observed GT transition strengths.
