Abstract
Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions starting from the nucleus to the nucleus were studied in a ()-type () charge-exchange reaction at a beam energy of 140 MeV/nucleon and scattering angles close to . Here, is the component of the isospin . The experiment was conducted at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) in Osaka, Japan. An energy resolution of keV was achieved by applying beam matching techniques to the Grand Raiden magnetic spectrometer system. With our good resolution, we could observe GT strength fragmented in many states up to an excitation energy of MeV. By performing angular distribution analysis, we could identify states in excited by GT transitions. The reduced GT transition strengths [(GT) values] were calculated assuming the proportionality between the cross sections and the (GT) values. Shell-model calculations using the GXPF1J interaction reproduced the (GT) strength distribution throughout the spectrum. States with isospin were identified by comparing the spectrum with a spectrum. Relative excitation energies of the corresponding structures are in good agreement, supporting the robustness of isospin symmetry in the mass number nuclei.
