Charge-exchange reactions are an important tool for determining weak-interaction rates. They provide stringent tests for nuclear structure models necessary for modeling astrophysical environments such as neutron stars and core-collapse…
Highly precise data on the magnetic dipole strength distributions from the Darmstadt electron linear accelerator for the nuclei 50Ti, 52Cr and 54Fe are dominated by isovector Gamow-Teller-like contributions and can therefore be translated…
Recently the the total absorption gamma spectroscopy technique was used to determine the Gamow Teller (GT) distribution of \b{eta} decay of 186Hg. It was concluded that the best description of the measured data was obtained with dominantly…
Gamow-Teller strength functions in full $(pf)^{8}$ spaces are calculated with sufficient accuracy to ensure that all the states in the resonance region have been populated. Many of the resulting peaks are weak enough to become unobservable.…
Calculating weak decay rates under stellar conditions for studying presupernova evolution of massive stars is a challenging task. Here we show the importance of odd A nuclei for presupernova simulations. In order to calculate the required…
The proportionality between single charge-exchange reaction cross sections in the forward direction as found, for example from $(p,n)$ and $(^3$He,$t)$ and from $(n,p)$ and $(d,^2$He) reactions, and the Gamow-Teller (GT) strength into the…
During the presupernova evolution of massive stars, the isotopes of iron, $^{54,55,56}$Fe, are advocated to play a key role inside the cores primarily decreasing the electron-to-baryon ratio ($Y_{e}$) mainly via electron capture processes…

New calculations are presented for Gamow-Teller beta decay of nuclei near $^{100}$Sn. Essentially all of the $^{100}$Sn Gamow-Teller decay strength is predicted to go to a single state at an excitation energy of 1.8 MeV in $^{100}$In. The…
We investigate the effect of pairing correlations on the computed Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions and corresponding $\beta$-decay half-lives. The calculations are performed for a total of 47 sd-shell nuclei, for $20 < A < 30$,…

According to standard stellar evolution, lithium abundance is believed to be a useful indicator of the stellar age. However, many evolved stars like red giants show huge fluctuations around expected theoretical abundances that are not yet…
We report measurements of $\gamma$--ray spectra from muon capture on $^{35}$Cl. For the allowed Gamow--Teller transitions to the $^{35}$S$(2939, 3/2^+)$ state and the $^{35}$S$(3421, 5/2^+)$ state we obtained their capture rates, hyperfine…

The ground-state Gamow-Teller transition in the decay of 14O is strongly hindered and the electron spectrum deviates markedly from the allowed shape. A reanalysis of the only available data on this spectrum changes the branching ratio…
