Gamow-Teller matrix elements from the /sup 11/B(p,n)/sup 11/C reaction at E/sub p/roughly-equal26 MeV
New data are presented for the /sup 11/B(p,n)/sup 11/C reaction taken at 1 MeV intervals for proton bombarding energies in the E/sub p/ = 16--26 MeV range. In the experiment, final states in /sup 11/C up to E/sub x/approx. =10 MeV were clearly identified and differential cross sections were extracted for the first four levels in /sup 11/C. The E/sub p/ = 26 MeV data are examined in microscopic distorted-wave approximation calculations using the wave functions of Cohen and Kurath to describe the states in /sup 11/B and /sup 11/C and using the G matrix interaction of Bertsch et al. for the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. Gamow-Teller matrix elements for transitions to excited states in /sup 11/C are extracted on the basis of these calculations, thus extending the information on Gamow-Teller matrix elements in the mass 11 systems beyond the ground state matrix element known from ..beta.. decay. Throughout, the results are contrasted with existing information from electromagnetic studies of /sup 11/B. It is concluded that the Cohen-Kurath model places too much Gamow-Teller strength in the low lying states of the mass 11 systems and not enough strength at higher excitation energies. In addition, this model underestimates the net contribution to M1 matrix elements from the isoscalar spin and current and isovector current parts of the M1 operator.
