Beta-decay of light nuclei close to the proton drip-line:40Ti and35Ca

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

The ß-decay of40Ti and35Ca have been studied at the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. The decay schemes were deduced from the observed ß-delayed proton and γ emission of40Ti and35Ca into the ground and first excited states of39Ca and34Ar, respectively. The Gamow-Teller strength functionB(GT) of the40Ti ß-decay extracted from the ß-decay branching ratios and the precisely measured40Ti half-life, provides for the first time an experimental calibration of the neutrino detection efficiency for the ICARUS solar neutrino detector.
