Studying the weak nuclear response, especially the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions, of stable as well as unstable pf-shell nuclei, is one of the key issues in nuclear and astro-nuclear physics. We study the decay half-lives and the GT transitions starting from Tz = ±1 and ±2 mirror nuclei, respectively, by means of β decays and complementary hadronic (3 He , t) charge-exchange reactions. Under the assumption that isospin is a good quantum number, symmetry is expected for mirror nuclei and the GT transitions starting from the mirror nuclei. The half-lives and branching ratios and the measured strength distributions of GT transitions are compared and also combined for the understanding of the nuclear structure of pf-shell nuclei far-from-stability.

Under the assumption of good isospin symmetry, Tz = ±3/2 → ±1/2 Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in a mass A isobar are analogous, where Tz is the z component of isospin T defined by 1/2(N - Z). We studied the Tz = +3/2 → +1/2 GT transitions by using the 37 Cl (3 He ,t)37 Ar and 41 K (3 He ,t)41 Ca reactions at E beam = 140 MeV / nucleon . The GT transition strengths in 37 Ar and 41 Ca were obtained up to the excitation energy (Ex) of 14.2 MeV and 10.4 MeV with energy resolutions of 30 and 35 keV, respectively. The obtained GT strengths were compared with those of the Tz = -2/3 → -1/2 mirror transitions, measured by the β-decay of 37 Ca and 41 Ti , respectively. It was found that the overall distributions of the mirror transitions were similar in both A = 37 and A = 41 systems. In A = 37 the differences seen at lower excitation energies are suggested to be the effect of the tensor interaction in the charge-exchange reaction. The differences seen at higher excitation energies are suggested to be the effect of the Coulomb interaction that can break the mirror symmetry of the strength distributions.
