WEAK-INTERACTION RATES IN O-16

We describe a full nonspurious 4Latin small letter h with stroke shell-model calculation that successfully reproduces the low-lying spectrum of O16, including the superdeformed 0+ (6.05 MeV) state, and discuss its connection with the coexistence model. This treatment provides a realistic microscopic framework for discussing various electroweak processes: E2 transitions in O16, the role of exchange currents and the pseudoscalar coupling constant in the 0+0- -decay and -capture transition, and the evaluation of the Gamow-Teller inclusive response function. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
