Overview of some time-of-flight (p, n) studies

Abstract
An overview of some experimental work with the (p, n) reaction at Indiana University is given. The scientific motivation for the studies is discussed. A description of the apparatus at the Indiana University cyclotron is given. Some results of the experiments are displayed. It is shown that the cross section per unit Gamow–Teller strength does not vary smoothly with target mass. This is noted as an open problem in the field. A discussion of another open problem, the missing Gamow–Teller strength, is given.
