Description
Summary:. Hadronic charge-exchange reactions of the type ( n , p ) and ( p , n ) at intermediate energies between roughly 100 and 300MeV per nucleon have gained in importance over the last 25 year. This is because these reactions can be employed as a powerful tool in numerous fields of nuclear and particle physics alike. Charge-exchange experiments have significantly contributed to the understanding of the dynamics of spin and isospin excitation, to the structure of particle-hole states in light- and medium-mass nuclei and even to elucidating nucleon-nucleon and halo-nuclei properties. However, the most significant advancements have been made --and are still being made-- towards the understanding of weak interaction processes in nuclei, especially those where neutrinos play a pivotal role. This is foremost due to the high level of resolution, which was experimentally achieved over the course of time. This review focuses on the power of charge-exchange reactions, whereby particular emphasis will be placed on resolution. At the center will be the ( n , p )-type ( d , 2 He ) reaction and the ( p , n )-type ( 3 He , t ) reaction.
