The temperature dependence of the energy centroids and strength distributions for Gamow-Teller (GT) $1^+$ excitations in several fp-shell nuclei is studied. The quasiparticle random phase approximations (QRPA) is extended to describe GT…
Our understanding of the low-lying resonance structure in $^{12}$C remains incomplete. We have used the $^{11}\text{B}(p,3\alpha)\gamma$ reaction at proton energies of $E_p=0.5-2.7$ MeV as a selective probe of the excitation region above…
Gamow-Teller(GT) transitions in the $\beta$ decays of $^9$Li and $^{11}$Li are investigated with theoretical calculations of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The calculated $B(GT)$ values are small for transitions to low-lying states in…
The blazar 4C 31.03 recently underwent a major gamma-ray outburst at the beginning of 2023 after a prolonged quiescent phase. Fermi-LAT reported a daily average flux of 5x10^-6 phs cm^-2 s^-1, which is about 60 times its average value. We…
In astrophysical environments, allowed Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions are important, particularly for $\beta$-decay rates in presupernova evolution of massive stars, since they contribute to the fine-tuning of the lepton-to-baryon content of…
Weak rates in nickel isotopes play an integral role in the dynamics of supernovae. Electron capture and $\beta$-decay of nickel isotopes, dictated by Gamow-Teller transitions, significantly alter the lepton fraction of the stellar matter.…
We calculate the rate of the rare decay $^{11}\text{Be}$ into $^{10}\text{Be} + p +e^- + \bar{\nu}_e$ using Halo effective field theory, thereby describing the process of beta-delayed proton emission. We assume a shallow $1/2^+$ resonance…

Gamow-Teller (GT) strength in $^{40}$Ar is studied by shell-model calculations with monopole-based universal intearction, which has tensor components of $\pi$\rho$-meson exchanges. Calculated GT strength is found to be consistent with the…
The two Gamow-Teller (GT) branches connecting the double-beta decay partners (116Cd, 116Sn) and (150Nd, 150Sm) with the intermediate nuclei 116In and 150Pm are studied within a microscopic approach based on a deformed proton-neutron…

The Gamow-Teller strength in nuclei can be strongly affected by the internal degrees of freedom of the nucleon. It is demonstrated that this feature is unique to the Gamow-Teller. Excitation modes that involve spatial degrees of freedom are…

We present a method to measure the weak phase gamma in the three-body decay of charged B mesons to the final states D K pi0. These decays are mediated by interfering amplitudes which are color-allowed and hence relatively large. As a…
