“…The β decay provides direct access to the absolute GT transition strengths B(GT) from the study of partial half-lives, Q β -values and branching ratios [4]. We see that the inverse of the partial half-life, that shows how fast specific GT or Fermi transitions are, is proportional to the B(GT) or B(F) values,…”

Studying weak nuclear responses, especially the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions starting from stable as well as unstable nuclei, provide crucial and critical information on nuclear structure. Therefore, the study of GT transitions is a key issue in nuclear physics and also nuclear-astrophysics. Under the assumption of isospin symmetry, it is expected that the structure of mirror nuclei and the GT transitions starting from their ground states are identical. We have studied the corresponding GT transitions starting from T z = ±1 and ±2 pf -shell nuclei, respectively, by means of hadronic ( 3 He, t) charge-exchange reactions and mirror β decays. The results on GT strength distributions measured in β decays and ( 3 He, t) reactions performed at an intermediate incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon and 0 • are compared. The combined results help provide an understanding of nuclear structure of nuclei far-from-stability.

a b s t r a c tThe quest to comprehend how nuclear processes influence astrophysical phenomena is driving experimental and theoretical research programs worldwide. One of the main goals in nuclear astrophysics is to understand how energy is generated in stars, how elements are synthesized in stellar events and what the nature of neutron stars is. New experimental capabilities, the availability of radioactive beams and increased computational power paired with new astronomical observations have advanced the present knowledge. This review summarizes the progress in the field of nuclear astrophysics with a focus on the role of indirect methods and reactions involving beams of rare isotopes.

“…They are characterized by an angular momentum transfer ΔL = 0 and spin-isospin flip (ΔS = 1 and ΔT = 1). Due to this simple character, GT transitions are important tools for the study of nuclear structure [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Studies of β decay give the most direct information on the reduced GT transition strength B(GT); an absolute B(GT) value can be derived.…”

“…However, the excitation energy (E x ) accessible in a β decay is limited by the decay Q value. In addition, there is a rapid decrease in feeding as E x increases owing to the decrease in the phase-space factor [3,5]. In charge-exchange reactions such as the (p, n), ( 3 He, t), (n, p) and (t, 3 He), one can observe GT transitions to states at higher excitation energies without the Q-value limitation.…”

The Gamow-Teller (GT) transition is a powerful tool to study nuclear structure because of its simple form of the operator στ. The structure of 26Al is studied through Gamow-Teller transitions using nuclear charge-exchange reaction. The reaction 26Mg(3He,t)26Al was performed at an incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon and scattering angle at and near 0˚. The energy resolution of ΔE = 22 keV allowed us to study many discrete states. Most of the prominent states are suggested that they are excited with ΔL = 0 GT transitions. The GT states were studied up to 18.5 MeV. For the extraction of the B(GT) value, the proportionality between cross section and B(GT) was used. The standard B(GT) values were obtained from the 26Si beta decay, where the mirror symmetry of B(GT) was obtained. The T = 2 GT states are expected in the region Ex ≥ 13.5 MeV. By comparing with the results of 26Mg(t, 3He)26Na reactions, the isospin symmetry of T = 2 GT states is discussed. Due to the high-energy resolution, the decay widths Γ for the states in the Ex > 9 MeV region could be studied. The narrow width of the T = 2 states at 13.592 MeV is explained in terms of isospin selection rules.
