Title: Strengths of transitions between 0/sup +/ and 1/sup +/ states and their relationship to inelastic electron scattering form factors: Example of /sup 24/Mg

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The strengths of transitions in A = 24 between J/sup ..pi../ = 1/sup +/, T = 1 states and the lowest J/sup ..pi../ = 0/sup +/ states of T = 0 and 2 are calculated from shell-model wave functions constructed in the full eight-particle 0d/sub 5/2/-1s/sub 1/2/-0d/sub 3/2/ configuration space. The model Hamiltonian is an empirical interaction which yields a good accounting of the energies of intra-sd-shell states throughout the A = 17--39 region. With these same wave functions the (e,e') form factors for the magnetic dipole excitation of /sup 24/Mg to its lowest five states of J/sup ..pi../ = 1/sup +/, T = 1 are calculated in the plane-wave Born approximation. The predicted form factors and the associated predictions for B(M1) and B (Gamow-Teller) are compared to existing experimental values.
