Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions play an important and consequential role in many astrophysical phenomena. These include, but are not limited to, electron and positron capture rates which determine the fate of massive stars and play an…
We report measurements of the cross section and a complete set of polarization observables for the Gamow--Teller ${}^{12}{\rm C}(\vec{p},\vec{n}){}^{12}{\rm N}({\rm g.s.},1^+)$ reaction at a bombarding energy of 296 MeV. The data are…
This brief note is to point out that the recent measurements at GSI and RIKEN of the superallowed Gamow-Teller transition in the doubly magic closed-shell nucleus $^{100}$Sn could give an indication for a possibly important {\it…
In light and medium-mass nuclei, two-body weak currents from chiral effective field theory account for a significant portion of the phenomenological quenching of Gamow-Teller transition matrix elements. Here we examine the systematic…
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…
We investigate the Gamow-Teller strength distributions in the electron-capture direction in nuclei having mass A=90-97, assuming a 88Sr core and using a realistic interaction that reasonably reproduces nuclear spectroscopy for a wide range…
We study charged-current neutrino cross sections on neutronrich nuclei in the mass $A\sim60$ region. Special attention is paid to environmental effects, i.e. finite temperature and density, on the cross sections. As these effects are…
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…
A systematic shell model description of the experimental Gamow-Teller transition strength distributions in $^{42}$Ti, $^{46}$Cr, $^{50}$Fe and $^{54}$Ni is presented. These transitions have been recently measured via $\beta$ decay of these…
The longstanding quenching problem of Gamow-Teller (GT) strength in nuclear $\beta$-decay is attributed to missing contributions in the transition operator and/or incomplete nuclear correlations in the many-body wavefunction. Recent studies…
We investigate the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strength distributions of {strongly} deformed nuclei, $^{24,26}$Mg, as well as of $^{18}$O. The calculations are performed within a deformed quasi-particle random phase approximation (DQRPA)…
The Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions within massive stars play sumptuous role in the dynamics of core collapse supernovae. GT strength distributions and electron capture rates have been calculated for odd-A nucleus $^{59}$Co within the…
We study $\beta$ decays within an effective theory that treats nuclei as a spherical collective core with an even number of neutrons and protons that can couple to an additional neutron and/or proton. First we explore Gamow-Teller $\beta$…
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…

Future galactic supernovae will provide an extremely long baseline for studying the properties and interactions of neutrinos. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of using such an event to constrain (or discover) the effects of exotic…
