In a recent study by Cole et al. [A. L. Cole et al., Phys. Rev. C 86 (2012) 015809], it was concluded that quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) calculations show larger deviations and overestimate the total experimental Gamow–Teller (GT) strength. It was also concluded that QRPA calculated electron capture rates exhibit larger deviation than those derived from the measured GT...
In the present work, a new asymptotical theory is proposed for the peripheral sub- and above-barrier transfer $A(x,y)B$ reaction in the framework of a three-body model, where $x=y+a$, $B=A+a$ and $a$ is a transferred particle. The asymptotic theory is based on the idea of the fact that, firstly, a peripheral reaction is governed by the nearest to the physical region $(-1\le\cos\theta\le 1)$...
