Solar neutrino detection: Experimental determination of Gamow-Teller strengths via the 98Mo and 115In (p,n) reactions
Abstract
The empirical distribution of Gamow-Teller strengths in 98Tc and 115Sn have been obtained via the (p,n) reaction at Ep=120 MeV and Ep=200 MeV on 98Mo and 115In targets. This information is used to calculate the cross section for absorption of solar neutrinos in 98Mo and 115In, nuclides which are being considered as neutrino detectors to accomplish solar neutrino spectroscopy.
