We use the shell model Monte Carlo method to calculate complete 0f1p-shell response functions for Gamow-Teller (GT) operators and obtain the corresponding strength distributions using a Maximum Entropy technique. The approach is validated…
Neutrino-induced reactions on $^{40}$Ar are investigated by shell model for Gamow-Teller transitions and random-phase-approximation (RPA) for forbidden transitions. For the 1$^{+}$ multipole, an effective interaction in $sd$-$pf$ shell…
