Heavy ion charge exchange as a probe for spin strength

  • 1. Michigan State Univ., East Lansing (USA)

Description

Heavy ion charge exchange reactions have a great potential for probing spin-transfer strength in nuclei. Provided that the reaction mechanism is simple (one step) in nature, projectile and ejectile quantum numbers can be chosen to isolate isovector, spin transferring (ΔS=ΔT=1) transitions. Tests of two of the more promising such reactions, (6Li, 6He) and (12C, 12N) have shown that they are dominantly one step above about 25 and 60 MeV/nucleon, resp. Phenomenological calibration curves have been established for each of these reactions. The (12C, 12N) reaction has been studied on 54956958Fe to test electron capture strengths relevant to supernova collapse. This and available results from other laboratories are discussed
