Title: Elucidating halo structure by {beta} decay: {beta}{gamma} from the {sup 11}Li decay

Journal Article · · Physical Review, C
OSTI ID:435253

New values for the {gamma} ray intensities following the {beta} decay of {sup 11}Li are presented. Special emphasis is put on the determination of the Gamow-Teller transition {sup 11}Li {r_arrow} {sup 11}Be (1/2{sup {minus}}, 320 keV) to the only bound excited state in {sup 11}Be. We show that a shell-model calculation can simultaneously reproduce the half-life of {sup 11}Li and the newly measured branching ratio to the 1/2{sup {minus}} state provided the {sup 11}Li ground state wave function contains about 50{percent} of s-wave neutron components. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
