abstract

  • Differential cross sections have been measured near 0 for the dominant channels in the mirror reaction 13 C( 13 N, 13 C) 13 N at E/A = 57 and 105 MeV. The cross sections of the peaks in the excitation spectrum are discussed in terms of Gamow-Teller and Fermi transition strength. The cross section per unit Gamow-Teller strength is found to be enhanced relative to that for unit Fermi strength when compared with previous results from (p, n) reactions. The present work represents the first use of a mirror-symmetric projectile and target system in a charge-exchange reaction as well as the first application of the developing radioactive nuclear beam field to this area. 1996 American Physical Society.
