Gamow-Teller strength distribution in the beta-decay of100Ag from total-absorption gamma spectrometry

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

The EC/β+-decay of the odd-odd nucleus100Ag was studied by means of total absorptionγ-ray spectrometry. Most of the Gamow-Teller strength was found to be concentrated at an excitation energy of 5.6 MeV in100Pd, the FWHM of this resonance being 1.5 MeV. The measured strength distribution which is interpreted within the BCS approximation as being due to the dominant population of four-quasiparticle excitations, resembles the distribution predicted by an advanced shell-model calculation for the98Ag →98Cd decay.
