Abstract

We have studied the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions from N=Z+2N=Z+2 neighbors to N=Z=N=Z= odd nuclei in pp-shell region by using isospin-projected and βγ\beta\gamma-constraint antisymmetrized molecular dynamics combined with generator coordinate method. The calculated GT transition strengths from 0+10^+1 states to 1+01^+0 states such as 6He(01+1)6Li(11+0){}^{6} \textrm{He}(0_1^+1)\rightarrow{}^{6} \textrm{Li}(1_1^+0), 10Be(01+1)10B(11+0){}^{10} \textrm{Be}(0_1^+1)\rightarrow{}^{10} \textrm{B}(1_1^+0), and 14C(01+1)14N(12+0){}^{14} \textrm{C}(0_1^+1)\rightarrow{}^{14} \textrm{N}(1_2^+0) exhaust more than 50\% of the sum rule. These N=Z+2N=Z+2 initial states and N=Z=N=Z= odd final states are found to dominantly have S=0,T=1S=0,T=1 nnnn pairs and S=1,T=0S=1,T=0 pnpn pairs, respectively. Based on two-nucleon (NNNN) pair picture, we can understand the concentration of the GT strengths as the spin-isospin-flip transition nn(S=0,T=1)pn(S=1,T=0)nn(S=0,T=1)\rightarrow pn(S=1,T=0) in LSLS-coupling scheme. The GT transition can be a good probe to identify the spin-isospin partner states with nnnn pairs and pnpn pairs of N=Z+2N=Z+2 and N=Z=N=Z= odd nuclei, respectively.
