PY - 2016 DA - 2016// TI - Observations of the Gamow-Teller resonance in the rare-earth nuclei above Gd-146 populated in beta decay T2 - Phys. Rev. C JO - Physical Review C SP - 014308 EP - 13pp VL - 93 IS - 1 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - The rare-earth region of the nuclear table around the quasi-doubly magic nucleus Gd-146 is one of the very few places in which the Gamow-Teller (GT) resonance can be populated in beta decay. The appropriate technique to study such a phenomenon is total absorption spectroscopy, thanks to which one can measure the B(GT) distribution in beta-decay experiments even when it is very fragmented and lies at high excitation energy in the daughter nucleus. Results on the GT resonance measured in the beta decay of the odd-Z, N = 83 nuclei Tb-148, Ho-150, and Tm-152 are presented in this work and compared with shell-model calculations. The tail of the resonance is clearly observed up to the limit imposed by the Q value. This observation is important in the context of the understanding of the "quenching" of the GT strength.
