Abstract

Experimental advances have made it possible to explore Gamow-Teller (GT) strength functions over the full excitation energy range associated with shell model nuclear particle-hole states. It is found that giant GT resonances exist quite generally and the excitation energy of the centroid is near that of the isobaric analog state. The integrated strength over the whole observed strength function is found to be typically only about half of the minimum required strength for the neutron excess of the parent state. This is a serious failure of ordinary nuclear models and seems to indicate a significant coupling of nucleon structure into nuclear structure.

Neutrino–nuclear responses for astro-neutrinos, single beta decays and double beta decays
2019, Physics Reports
Neutrino–nuclear responses associated with astro-neutrinos, single beta decays and double beta decays are crucial in studies of neutrino properties of interest for astro-particle physics. The present report reviews briefly recent studies of the neutrino–nuclear responses from both experimental and theoretical points of view in order to obtain a consistent understanding of the many facets of the neutrino–nuclear responses. Subjects discussed in this review include (i) experimental studies of neutrino–nuclear responses by means of single beta decays, charge-exchange nuclear reactions, muon- photon- and neutrino–nuclear reactions, and nucleon-transfer reactions, (ii) implications of and discussions on neutrino–nuclear responses for single beta decays, for astro-neutrinos, and for astro-neutrino nucleosynthesis, (iii) theoretical aspects of neutrino–nuclear responses for beta and double beta decays, for nuclear muon capture and for neutrino–nucleus scattering, and (iv) critical discussions on nucleonic and non-nucleonic spin–isospin correlations and renormalization (quenching or enhancement) effects on the axial weak coupling. Remarks are given on perspectives of experimental and theoretical studies of the neutrino–nuclear responses and on future experiments of double beta decays.
On the quenching of the (e, e′) form factor of the M1 transition to the 10.23 MeV state in <sup>48</sup>Ca
1991, Physics Letters B
The form factor of the process (e, e′) ⁴⁸Ca(1⁺; 10.23 MeV) is analyzed in the framework of the random-phase approximation. As in previous calculations the obtained wavefunction is dominated by the neutronic ( $1 f_{52} 1 f_{72}^{−1}$ particle-hole configuration, but it is shown that the role of the small (non-dominant) components is not negligible. A quenching factor independent of the momentum transfer is found. The effect of the meson-exchange currents is also considered. Experimental data can be explained by the additional consideration of second order core polarization and tensor correlations effects.
Pion degrees of freedom in nuclear matter
1990, Physics Reports
This review mainly concentrates on the following two problems. The first problem concerns the properties of pion degrees of freedom in nuclear and neutron matter, the second one deals with various phenomena in atomic nuclei and neutron stars for which pion mode softening plays an important part. The properties of the pion degrees of freedom in dense and hot nuclear matter are extensively discussed. Applications to heavy-ion collisions are considered.
Nuclear response beyond mean field theory
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
An extension of the RPA equations is derived, with emphasis on the relation between the single-particle Green function and the polarization propagator. Including second order self-energy contributions the resulting particle-hole interaction includes the coupling to two-particle-two-hole (2p2h) states and the resulting response satisfies relevant conservation laws. This aspect of the theory is shown to be essential to obtain reliable and meaningful results for excitation strengths and to avoid ghost solutions. This method is applied to electromagnetic and charge exchange excitations in ⁴⁸Ca up to 100 MeV. A G-matrix interaction based on meson exchange is used which takes care of short-range correlations. The results compare favourably with measured excitation strengths and electromagnetic form factors both at low energy as well as in the giant resonance region. Remaining discrepancies point in the direction of further strength reduction due to shortrange correlations as well as a possible stronger coupling to 2p2h states at low energy.
Isotensor double giant resonances in double charge-exchange reactions
1990, Annals of Physics
Spin-isospin excitations
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We discuss the spin-isospin response in 3 regions. The Gamow-Teller strength distribution is still not understood. New data from (n, p) reactions question the conjecture that part of the missing strength was to be found in the high energy tail region. In the quasielastic region rather different sets of data suggest that the attraction in the spin longitudinal channel is gone. In the Δ-region the existing data are consistent with an attractive Δ-hole interaction in the spin longitudinal channel.
