Abstract
Highly precise data on the magnetic dipole strength distributions from the Darmstadt electron linear accelerator for the nuclei 50Ti, 52Cr and 54Fe are dominated by isovector Gamow-Teller-like contributions and can therefore be translated into inelastic total and differential neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections at supernova neutrino energies. The results agree well with large-scale shell-model calculations, validating this model.
