The allowed charge-changing transitions are the most common weak interaction processes of spin-isospin form that play a crucial role in several nuclear/astrophysical processes. The first-forbidden (FF) transition becomes important, in the…
We investigate the tensor force (TF) effect %in the residual interaction on the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in four magic nuclei, $^{48}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr, $^{132}$Sn and $^{208}$Pb. The TF is taken into account by using the Br\"uckner…
