Summary * Isospin Symmetry was introduced * High resolution of the ( 3 He,t) reaction allowed the comparison of analogous transitions * Properties of proton-rich “far-stability nuclei” is deduced by the combined analysis of -decay and ( 3 He,t) reaction --- B(GT), Half-life T 1/2 --- **Accurate measurements of T 1/2 & Mass are very important** Collaboration of Stable beam facility and RI beam facility is very important!
