Abstract

The double differential cross sections for the 116Cd(p,n) and 116Sn(n,p) reactions at 300 MeV have been measured over a wide excitation-energy region including Gamow-Teller (GT) giant resonance (GTGR) for studying GT transition strengths in the intermediate nucleus of the 116Cd double-β decay, namely 116In. A large amount of the strengths in the β+ direction has been newly found in the energy region up to 30 MeV, which may imply that the GT strengths in the GTGR region contribute to the nuclear matrix element of the two-neutrino double-β decay.
