From the absolute gamma-ray and beta-particle intensities observed in the decay of the isomeric state, the branching ratio R-B of the isomeric gamma-decay from Al-24m to the J(pi) = 4(+), ground state of Al-24 have been derived. The obtained R-B value of 69.6(7){\%} is much smaller than the previously accepted value of 82.5(30){\%}. The precise half-life for the isomer decay, T-1/2(m) = 130.9(13) ms, has been also determined in this experiment. Accordingly, the M3 gamma-decay strength B(M3) of the Al-24m decay becomes smaller and the total beta-decay branching ratio becomes larger. In particular, the beta-decay branching ratio to the ground state of Mg-24 becomes 24.3(9){\%}, which is 2.4 times larger than the previous value of 10.1(28){\%}. By combining the branching ratio and the half-life, the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strength B(GT) of 0.0194(7) is deduced for the GT transition from Al-24m to the J(pi) = 0(+), ground state of Mg-24. This value is in good agreement with the values derived from charge-exchange reactions.", optnote="WOS:000300285100010", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=905), last updated on Thu, 08 Mar 2012 10:11:39 +0000", issn="1434-6001", doi="10.1140/epja/i2011-11155-7", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epja/i2011-11155-7", language="English" }
