Abstract
Gamow-Teller and dipole transitions to final states in $^{13}\mathrm{B}$ were studied via the $^{13}\mathrm{C}(t,^{3}\mathrm{He})$ reaction at ${E}_{t}=115A$ MeV. In addition to the strong Gamow-Teller transition to the $^{13}\mathrm{B}$ ground state, a weaker Gamow-Teller transition to a state at 3.6 MeV was found. This state was assigned a spin-parity of $3/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ by comparison with shell-model calculations using the WBP and WBT interactions which were modified to allow for mixing between $n\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\omega}$ and $(n+2)\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\omega}$ configurations. This assignment agrees with a recent result from a lifetime measurement of excited states in $^{13}\mathrm{B}$. The shell-model calculations also explained the relatively large spectroscopic strength measured for a low-lying $1/{2}^{+}$ state at 4.83 MeV in $^{13}\mathrm{B}$. The cross sections for dipole transitions up to ${E}_{x}$$(^{13}\mathrm{B})=20$ MeV excited via the $^{13}\mathrm{C}(t,^{3}\mathrm{He})$ reaction were also compared with the shell-model calculations. The theoretical cross sections exceeded the data by a factor of about 1.8, which might indicate that the dipole excitations are ``quenched''. Uncertainties in the reaction calculations complicate that interpretation.
