Abstract
New values for the gamma ray intensities following the beta decay of L i-11 are presented. Special emphasis is put on the determination of th e Gamow-Teller transition Li-11 --> Be-11 (1/2(-), 320 keV) to the onl y bound excited state in Be-11. We show that a shell-model calculation can simultaneously reproduce the half-life of Li-11 and the newly mea sured branching ratio to the 1/2(-) state provided the Li-11 ground st ate wave function contains about 50% of s-wave neutron components.
