Abstract
Techniques are described to obtain absolute normalizations for Gamow-Teller strength functions from (p,n) spectra. A method using data taken at two di fferent proton energies and a method using polarization transfer data are d iscussed. Both methods require determining the number of counts due to the Fermi transition which is usually not completely resolved. We discuss metho ds for normalizing to unresolved Fermi peaks and handling peak shapes encou ntered in real time-of-flight spectra. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All r ights reserved.
