Effects of the delta-isobar ([Delta]) mixing on the spin-isospin response functions in finite nuclei are studied in the quasielastic region. A method to calculate the response function for a finite system composed of nucleon ([ital N]) and [Delta] is formulated in a ring approximation. It is designed to treat the [Delta]-related Landau-Migdal parameters [ital g][sub [ital N][Delta]][sup [prime]], [ital g][sub [Delta][Delta]][sup [prime]] and the nucleon parameter [ital g][sub [ital N][ital N]][sup [prime]], independently, so that the universality ansatz, [ital g][sub [ital N][ital N]][sup [prime]]=[ital g][sub [ital N][Delta]][sup [prime]]=[ital g][sub [Delta][Delta]][sup [prime]], is removed. We calculated the isovector spin-longitudinal and -transverse response functions, [ital R][sub [ital L]] and [ital R][sub [ital T]], with and without the [Delta] mixing. Inclusion of [Delta] enhances [ital R][sub [ital L]] but reduces [ital R][sub [ital T]] for ordinary interactions. Dependence of [ital R][sub [ital L],][ital T] on [ital g][sub [ital N][ital N]][sup [prime]] and [ital g][sub [ital N][Delta]][sup [prime]] is investigated. Decomposition into the process-decomposed response functions, [ital R][sup [[ital N][ital N]]], [ital R][sup [[ital N][Delta]]], and [ital R][sup [[Delta][Delta]]], is very elucidative to see the [Delta] effects, which are found to be mainly governed by [ital R][sup [[ital N][Delta]]] and sensitive to [ital g][submore » [ital N][Delta]][sup [prime]]. The isovector spin-transverse response function [ital R][sub [ital T]][sup ([ital e],][ital e][sup [prime])] obtained by ([ital e],[ital e][prime]) is calculated by various effective interactions and compared to each other as well as experimental data.« less
