Abstract
The strengths of transitions in A=24 between Jπ=1+, T=1 states and the lowest Jπ=0+ states of T=0 and 2 are calculated from shell-model wave functions constructed in the full eight-particle 0d521s120d32 configuration space. The model Hamiltonian is an empirical interaction which yields a good accounting of the energies of intra-sd-shell states throughout the A=1739 region. With these same wave functions the (e, e) form factors for the magnetic dipole excitation of Mg24 to its lowest five states of Jπ=1+, T=1 are calculated in the plane-wave Born approximation. The predicted form factors and the associated predictions for B(M1) and B (Gamow-Teller) are compared to existing experimental values.
