(/sup 6/Li,/sup 6/He) reaction as a probe of spin transfer strength

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The (/sup 6/Li, /sup 6/He) reaction was studied on targets of /sup 7/Li, /sup 12/C, /sup 14/C, /sup 26/Mg, and /sup 96/Zr at E/sub Li/ = 210 MeV. A striking proportionality between cross sections for Gamow-Teller transitions and the corresponding ..beta..-decay strengths is observed. This should serve as a calibration of the reaction for use in studies of spin-transfer strength in nuclei. A variety of tests suggests that the reaction proceeds predominantly by a one-step mechanism.
