Nuclear magnetic-dipole (M1) and Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions provide insight into the spin-isospin properties of atomic nuclei. By considering them as unified spin-isospin transitions, the M1/GT transition strengths and excitation…
The isospin-symmetry breaking correction, denoted as $\delta_C$, is introduced for the first time within the shell-model framework to the nuclear matrix element of Gamow-Teller transitions. $\delta_C$ is separated into two components: the…
GT transitions in $N=28\sim 30$ nuclei are studied in terms of a large-scale realistic shell-model calculation, by using Towner's microscopic parameters. $B({\rm GT})$ values to low-lying final states are reproduced with a reasonable…

Motivated by the proposed experiment $^{14}N(d,{^2He})^{14}C$, we study the final states which can be reached via the allowed Gamow-Teller mechanism. Much emphasis has been given in the past to the fact that the transition matrix element…

Gamow-Teller(GT) resonances in finite nuclei are studied in a fully consistent relativistic random phase approximation (RPA) framework. A relativistic form of the Landau-Migdal contact interaction in the spin-isospin channel is adopted.…
Although many random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations of the Gamow-Teller (GT) response exist, this is not the case for calculations going beyond the mean-field approximation. We apply a consistent model that includes the coupling of…
How to disentangle the possible {\it genuine} quenching of $g_A$ caused by scale anomaly of QCD parameterized by the scale-symmetry-breaking quenching factor $q_{ssb}$ from nuclear correlation effects is described. This is done by matching…
The structure of exotic nuclei provides valuable tests for state-of-the-art nuclear theory. In particular electromagnetic transition rates are more sensitive to aspects of nuclear forces and many-body physics than excitation energies alone.…
We examine isovector and isoscalar neutron-proton correlations in an exactly solvable model based on the algebra SO(8). We look particularly closely at Gamow-Teller strength and double beta decay, both to isolate the effects of the two…
The superallowed Gamow-Teller transition in the doubly-magic-shell nucleus $^{100}$Sn and the high resolution spectral shape analysis in the fourth-forbidden nonunique transition in $^{115}$In indicate as much as $\sim 40\%$ {\it…
In the present work we perform a systematic shell model study of Gamow-Teller transition strength distributions in $sd$ shell nuclei using $ab~initio$ effective interactions. The $ab~initio$ effective interactions are based on in-medium…
Searches of neutrinoless double-beta decay require information on the value of the nuclear matrix elements that rule the process to plan and interpret experiments. At present, however, even the matrix elements obtained with the most…

Starting from a Skyrme interaction with tensor terms, the $\beta$-decay rates of $^{52}$Ca have been studied within a microscopic model including the $2p-2h$ configuration effects. We observe a redistribution of the strength of Gamow-Teller…
