Deformation effects on the gamow-teller transitions in Ge-76 and Se-76 by using the deformed Quasi-Particle Random-Phase Approximation

초록

With the advent of high technology in analyzing the Gamow-Teller (GT) excited states beyond the one nucleon emission threshold, the quenching of the GT strength to the Ikeda sum rule can be recovered by using the high-lying GT states. Moreover, in some nuclei, GT peaks that are stronger than any other peaks appear explicitly in the high-lying excited states. In the current study, we have addressed these high-lying GT (-) excited states within a framework of the deformed quasi-particle random-phase approximation (DQRPA). These high-lying GT (-) excited states are generated due to an increase in particle numbers around the Fermi surface due to an increase in the chemical potential owing to a certain deformation of the nuclei. On the contrary, among the GT(+) excited states, the low-lying ones were favored by an increase in the deformation. The main GT(+/-) transitions were also changed drastically by the deformation. A detailed mechanism leading to the changes in the GT transitions is discussed by studying the shell evolution and the consequent change in the particle numbers in the smearing region caused by the deformation in typical doublebeta-decay nuclei, Ge-76 and Se-76.
