In the Ca-42 -> Sc-42 reaction, most of the GT strength is concentrated in the lowest excited state at 0.6 MeV, suggesting the existence of a low-energy GT phonon excitation. As A increases, a high-energy GT phonon excitation develops in the 6-11 MeV region. In the Fe-54 -> Co-54 reaction, the high-energy GT phonon excitation mainly carries the GT strength. The existence of these two GT phonon excitations are attributed to the 2 fermionic degrees of freedom in nuclei.", optnote="WOS:000332925900009", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1729), last updated on Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:11:24 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.112502", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.112502", language="English" }
