The (d,He-2) charge-exchange reaction on the double-beta decay (beta beta) nucleus Zn-64 has been studied at an incident energy of 183 MeV. The two protons in the S-1(0) state (indicated as He-2) were both momentum analyzed and detected simultaneously by the BBS magnetic spectrometer and its position-sensitive detector. He-2 spectra with a resolution of about 115 keV (FWHM) have been obtained allowing identification of many levels in the residual nucleus Cu-64 with high precision. Zn-64 is one of the rare cases undergoing a beta beta decay in beta(+) direction. In the experiment presented here, Gamow-Teller (GT(+)) transition strengths have been extracted. Together with the GT(-) transition strengths from Ni-64(He-3,t) data to the same intermediate nucleus Cu-64, the nuclear matrix elements of the beta beta decay of Zn-64 have been evaluated. Finally, the GT(+/-) distributions are compared with shell-model calculations and a critical assessment is given of the various residual interactions presently employed for the pf shell.

The S-32(d,He-2)P-32 charge-exchange reaction has been studied at forward angles and at an incident energy of E-d=170 MeV. The two protons in the S-1(0)(pp) state (indicated as He-2) were both momentum analyzed and detected by the same spectrometer and detector. High resolution He-2 spectra have been obtained allowing identification of many levels in the residual nucleus with high precision. The (d,He-2) reaction selectively excites spin-isospin-flip transitions, and at vanishing momentum transfer these are largely governed by the Gamow-Teller transition operator for the beta(+) direction. In the case of the self-conjugate nucleus S-32, the (d,He-2) probe is calibrated against the elementary (p,n) probe going into the mirror beta(-) direction. The deduced results are compared with those obtained from (p,p(')) and (e,e(')) reactions, which excite the same levels in the isospin multiplet. Angular distributions of cross sections for the (d,He-2) reaction are presented and compared with DWBA calculations. A level-by-level comparison with shell-model calculations using the USD interaction has been performed, and the structure of the l-forbidden ground state transition is discussed. From the comparison with (p,p(')), (e,e(')), and (p,n) data the isospin-analog J(pi)=1(+) levels in the triplet of the A=32 nuclei are deduced.
