Abstract: | Data on (p,n) reactions at 120 and 160MeV have been used to study the excitation of spin-isospin multipole vibrations in 54, 56Fe and 58, 60Ni. In particular, transitions characterized by L = 0 transfer are identified as spin-isospin transitions (excitation of Gamow-Teller states) or as isospin transitions (excitation of isobaric analog states). An effort is made to estimate Gamow-Teller strength, B(GT), at excitation energies between 20–40 MeV. A comparison between GT and M1 strengths is presented for 58, 60Ni. Shell-model calculations for total strengths, Σ B(GT), are compared with the observed results. |
