Abstract

The Gamow-Teller strength distribution covering the entire β\beta-decay window, up to 10.312(4) MeV, of 80g+m^{80g+m}Ga was measured for the first time in photo fission of UCx_x induced by a 50 MeV electron beam. The new data show significant enhancement in the high-energy region with a jump structure. Simultaneously, the γ\gamma deexciting behavior of β\beta-populated states presents a competition between deexcitation to 21+_1^+ [β2\beta_2 = 0.155(9)] and to 22+_2^+ [β2\beta_2 = 0.0530.0090.008_{0.009}^{0.008})] in 80^{80}Ge. To understand these data, we performed a realistic shell-model calculation and systematic analysis of log ft\it{ft} ratios between precursors' β\beta decay to 22+_2^+ and to 21+_1^+ of Ga isotopes. We conclude that these phenomena evidence simultaneous impacts of nuclear shell structure and collectivity on B\it{B}(GT) distribution and therefore the half-life of the precursor.
