Abstract

A ⁷¹Ga( ³He,t) ⁷¹Ge charge-exchange experiment was performed to extract with high precision the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths to the three lowest-lying states in ⁷¹Ge, i.e., the ground state (1/2 ^-), the 175 keV (5/2 ^-) and the 500 keV (3/2 ^-) excited states. These are the relevant states, which are populated via a charged-current reaction induced by neutrinos from reactor-produced ⁵¹Cr and ³⁷Ar sources. A precise measurement of the GT transition strengths is an important input into the calibration of the SAGE and GALLEX solar neutrino detectors and addresses a long-standing discrepancy between the measured and evaluated capture rates from the ⁵¹Cr and ³⁷Ar neutrino calibration sources, which has recently spawned new ideas about unconventional neutrino properties.
