Abstract. We present the results of a novel Mössbauer experiment in a rotating system, implemented recently in Istanbul University, which yields the coefficient k=0.690.02 within the frame of the expression for the relative energy shift between emission and absorption lines E/E=ku 2 /c 2 . This result turned out to be in a quantitative agreement with an experiment achieved earlier on the subject matter (A.L. Kholmetskii et al. 2009 Phys. Scr. 79 065007), and once again strongly pointed to the inequality k>0.5, revealed originally in (A.L. Kholmetskii et al. 2008 Phys. Scr. 77, 035302 (2008) via the re-analysis of Kündig's experiment (W. Kündig. Phys. Rev. 129, 2371). A possible explanation of the deviation of the coefficient k from the relativistic prediction k=0.5 is discussed.

We have studied the f decay of the Tz = -1 , f y2 shell nuclei 54Ni, 50Fe, 46Cr, and 42Ti produced in fragmentation reactions. The proton separation energies in the daughter T. = 0 nuclei are relatively large («4-5 MeV) so studies of the y rays are essential. The experiments were performed at GSI as part of the Stopped-beam campaign with the RISING setup consisting of 15 Euroball Cluster Ge detectors. From the newly obtained high precision /1-decay half-lives, excitation energies, and f branching ratios, we were able to extract Fermi and Gamow-Teller transition strengths in these f) decays. With these improved results it was possible to compare in detail the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths observed in beta decay including a sensitivity limit with the strengths of the Tz = +1 to Tz = 0 transitions derived from high resolution (3He,f) reactions on the mirror target nuclei at RCNP, Osaka. The accumulated B(GT) strength obtained from both experiments looks very similar although the charge exchange reaction provides information on a broader energy range. Using the "merged analysis" one can obtain a full picture of the £(GT) over the full Qp range. Looking at the individual transitions some differences are observed, especially for the weak transitions. Their possible origins are discussed.
