Gamow–Teller strength distributions in Fe and Ni stable isotopes Original Research Article

We study Gamow–Teller strength distributions in some selected nuclei of particular astrophysical interest within the iron mass region. The theoretical framework is based on a proton–neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation built on a deformed selfconsistent mean field basis obtained from two-body density-dependent Skyrme forces. We compare our results to available experimental information obtained from (n,p) and (p,n) charge exchange reactions.
