Title: A study of Gamow-Teller mixing: Coupling to delta (1232) and isobaric analogue resonances

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5115336

The problem of missing Gamow-Teller strength is examined in two calculations. The mixing between nucleonic Gamow-Teller states and those containing a delta(1232) resonance in calcium-48, zirconium-90 and tin-132 is studied as a function of the excitation energy of a delta in the nucleus in a shell-model calculation. It is found that mixing is large enough at the experimentally observed nucleon-delta separation to warrant treating the nucleon and the delta resonance on similar footing in intermediate energy nuclear physics. In a second calculation, the coupled channels impulse approximation is used to examine the effect on the Gamow-Teller cross section of coupling to the isobaric analogue state. This is done for incident proton energies of 140 and 175 MeV on a calcium-48 target. Effects on the cross-section of the separation between the isobaric analogue and Gamow-Teller states are also studied. It is found that coupling to the isobaric analogue state has little effect on either the Gamow-Teller or the isobaric analogue cross section.
