Calculations of Gamow–Teller Transition Strengths in fp-Shell Nuclei Using Shell Model

Abstract

The Gamow–Teller (GT) strength transitions in nuclear structures and astrophysical processes proved to be very important to understand the mechanisms of formation of neutron stars and black holes, therefore the GT transitions in the 46Ti→46V, 47Ti→47V, 48Ti→48V, and 50Cr→50Mn charge-exchange reactions have been studied. The shell model calculations have been carried out in the fp-model space without any restrictions using the GXFP1A, KB3G, and FPD6 effective interactions. The calculation of the GT distribution is compared with recent available experimental data. The theoretical calculations are in reasonably good agreement with the experimental GT distributions and with the summed transition strengths B(GT). For the individual transformations we have reached a qualitative agreement, while the measured cumulative transformation strengths are closely matched by the observed ones.
