Description

We consider a measurement of isobaric analog states (IAS) of 76As in 76Se as a method for measuring the Gamow-Teller (GT) strength important to constrain and possibly help normalize calculations of double beta (ββ) decay matrix elements. We show that photo-nuclear reactions via IAS can provide valuable information about the parent and daughter states of ββ-decay not currently available from measurements of charge exchange reactions. Several experiments have been proposed at the HI□ Sfacility at the Triangle Nuclear Research Laboratory in Durham, NC, the first of which will measure the lowest 1−, 1+ and 2+ IAS in 76Se.
