Abstract

Spin-isospin excitations in 13 N have been studied by means of the (3 He ,t) and (3 He ,tp) reactions at the bombarding energy of E(3 He ) = 450 MeV . The zero-degree (3 He ,t) spectrum is found to be similar to those from the (p,n) reactions at intermediate energies, suggesting a simple direct reaction mechanism at E(3 He ) = 450 MeV . Three pairs of Gamow-Teller (GT) states with Jπ = 1/2- and 3/2- have been strongly excited at θlab. = 0°. Microscopic structures of the states in 13 N have been studied by observing decay protons in coincidence with high energy tritons measured at θlab. = 0°. The branching ratios for proton decay from the GT states in 13 N to the final low-lying T =0 states in 12 C were obtained. The wave functions of the excited states in 13 N are discussed in the view point of α cluster model.
