Abstract

The empirical distributions of Gamow-Teller strengths in ${}^{98}{Tc}$ and ${}^{115}{Sn}$ have been obtained via the ( $p, n$ ) reaction at $E_{p} = 120$ MeV and $E_{p} = 200$ MeV on ${}^{98}{Mo}$ and ${}^{115}{In}$ targets. This information is used to calculate the cross sections for absorption of solar neutrinos in ${}^{98}{Mo}$ and ${}^{115}{In}$ , nuclides which are being considered as neutrino detectors to accomplish solar-neutrino spectroscopy.
