Extraction of Precise Gamow-Teller Quenching Value Q, Landau-Migdal Parameter g'{{NΔ }} and Pion Condensation
Abstract
Measurements on 90Zr(p, n) and 90Zr(n, p) reactions at 300 MeV were made and reliable Sβ- and Sβ+ values are successfully extracted. A Gamow-Teller quenching factor (Q) in terms of the spin sum rule of Sβ- - Sβ+ = 3(N - Z) is derived as Q = 0.89 ± 0.04(MDA) ± 0.04(IVSM) apart from the systematic uncertainty of Δ / σ GT <= 15% . The Landau-Migdal (LM) parameters representing a short-range correlation in an isospin-spin channel are deduced to be g'{NN} = 0.60 ± 0.02 and g'{NΔ } = 0.24 ± 0.10 with the Chew-Low coupling constant fΔ/fπ = 2. The critical density of the pion condensation is estimated to be ρc 2ρ0 which can be easily realized in the neutron stars. Recent observation of the surface temperature of the neutron star 3C58 supports the pionic cooling mechanism and consequently manifestation of the pion condensation in neutron stars.
