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.…
In a recent study by Cole et al., it was concluded that QRPA calculations show larger deviations and overestimate the total experimental Gamow-Teller (GT) strength. It was also concluded that QRPA calculated electron capture rates exhibit…
Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions from high-spin isomers are studied using the sum-rule approach and the shell model. The GT transition strengths from the high-spin isomeric states show a stronger collectivity than those from the ground states…
The proportionality between differential cross sections at vanishing linear momentum transfer and Gamow-Teller transition strength, expressed in terms of the \textit{unit cross section} ($\hat{\sigma}_{GT}$) was studied as a function of…
We describe the importance of charge-exchange reactions, and in particular Gamow-Teller transitions, in astrophysical processes and double beta decay, and in understanding of nuclear structure. We first provide an overview of the central…
We calculate Gamow-Teller strength distributions for $\beta \beta$-decay nuclei $^{76}$Ge and $^{82}$Se using the deformed pn-QRPA model. We use a deformed Nilsson basis and consider pairing correlations within the deformed BCS theory.…

We study the recently measured beta-decay of $^{70}$Kr into $^{70}$Br within the framework of the large-scale shell model. The enhancement in the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strength in $^{70}$Br compared to the $\beta$-decay of the…
Gamow-Teller and dipole transitions to final states in 13B were studied via the 13C(t,3He) reaction at Et = 115 AMeV. Besides the strong Gamow-Teller transition to the 13B ground state, a weaker Gamow-Teller transition to a state at 3.6 MeV…
We propose a schematic model of nucleons moving in spin--orbit partner levels, $j=l\pm{\sfrac12}$, to explain Gamow--Teller and two-nucleon transfer data in $N=Z$ nuclei above $^{40}$Ca. Use of the $LS$ coupling scheme provides a more…
We study the efficacy of a new ab initio framework that combines the symmetry-adapted (SA) no-core shell-model approach with the resonating group method (RGM) for unified descriptions of nuclear structure and reactions. We obtain ab initio…
Background: Effective interactions, either derived from microscopic theories or based on fitting selected properties of nuclei in specific mass regions, are widely used inputs to shell-model studies of nuclei. Until recently, most…
The density-dependent finite-range Gogny force has been used to derive the effective Hamiltonian for the shell-model calculations of nuclei. The density dependence simulates an equivalent three-body force, while the finite range gives a…
At forward angles, and bombarding energies E > 200 MeV, the (p,n) and (n,p) reactions are thought to be directly proportional to the Gamow-Teller transition strengths in the nuclei. Assuming that this relationship also holds for charge…
Negative parity states in $^{20}$Ne and Gamow-Teller strength distribution for the ground-state beta-decay of $^{20}$Na are calculated for the very first time using recently developed No-Core Configuration-Interaction model. The approach is…
We present shell model calculations of electron capture strength distributions in A=28 nuclei and computations of the corresponding capture rates in supernova core conditions. We find that in these nuclei the Brink-Axel hypothesis for the…
The Gamow-Teller strength for the transition from the ground state of 13C to the T=1/2, J^pi=3/2- excited state at 3.51 MeV in 13N is extracted via the 13C(3He,t) reaction at 420 MeV. In contrast to results from earlier (p,n) studies on…
