Resonance Structure of the Charge-Exchange Strength Function and Neutrino-Capture Cross Sections for the Isotopes 71Ga, 98Mo, and 127I

Аннотация

A resonance structure of the charge-exchange strength function S(E) and its effect on the neutrino-capture cross sections for the isotopes ⁷¹Ga, ⁹⁸Mo, and ¹²⁷I are studied within the self-consistent theory of finite Fermi systems. The calculation of the strength function S(E) takes into account Gamow–Teller, analog, and so-called lower lying pygmy resonances. The neutrino-capture cross sections σ(E) for the above three isotopes are calculated with allowance for the resonance structure of the strength function S(E), and the effect of each resonance on the energy dependence σ(E) is analyzed. It is found that all charge-exchange resonances in the strength function S(E) should be taken into account in calculating the neutrino-capture cross section σ(E) for the isotopes ⁷¹Ga, ⁹⁸Mo, and ¹²⁷I. The disregard of even highlying resonances leads to a substantial underestimation of the cross section σ(E), and this may affect the interpretation of respective experimental data.
