We describe the importance of charge-exchange reactions, and in particular Gamow-Teller transitions, in astrophysical processes and double beta decay, and in understanding of nuclear structure. We first provide an overview of the central role played by the isovector pairing and the quadrupole-quadrupole channels in the description of energy spectra and in the manifestation of collective modes, some associated with deformation of the nuclear shape. We then turned our focus to Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in relatively light nuclei, especially in the 2p1f shell, where isoscalar pairing may be playing a role in competition with the isovector pairing that dominates in heavier regions. Following a summary of the progress made in recent years on this subject, we report a systematic shell model study aimed at providing further clarification as to how these pairing modes compete. In this study, we use a schematic Hamiltonian that contains a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction as well as both isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions. We first find an optimal set of Hamiltonian parameters for the model, to provide a starting point from which to vary the relevant pairing strengths and thus assess how this impacts the behavior of GT transitions and the corresponding energy spectra and rotational properties of the various nuclei involved in the decays. The analysis includes as an important theme a comparison with experimental data. The need to suppress the isoscalar pairing mode when treating nuclei with a neutron excess to avoid producing spurious results for the ground state spin and parity with the simplified Hamiltonian is highlighted. Varying the strength parameters for the two pairing modes is found to exhibit different but systematic effects on GT transition properties and on the corresponding energy spectra, which are detailed.

Matter radii of the $^{34-40}$Mg nuclei are investigated by self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations assuming the axial symmetry. With the semi-realistic M3Y-P6 interaction, the $N$-dependence of the matter radii observed in the experimen ts is reproduced excellently. Both the pairing and the deformation play significant roles in an intertwined manner. The $^{35}$Mg nucleus has a smaller radius than the neighboring even-$N$ nuclei, which is attributed to its smaller deformation. In contrast, a neutron halo is obtained in $^{37}$Mg. We point out that, in contrast to the pairing anti-halo effect that may operate on the even-$N$ nuclei, the pair correlation enhances halos in odd-$N$ nuclei, owing to the new mechanism which we call textit{unpaired-particle haloing}. The halo in $^{37}$Mg is predicted to have peanut shape in its intrinsic state, reflecting $p$-wave contribution, as in $^{40}$Mg. The $N$-dependence of the deformation is significant again, by which the single-particle level dominated by the $p$-wave component comes down.

The ground-state properties of the recent reported proton emitter 145Tm have been studied within the axially or triaxially deformed relativistic mean field (RMF) approaches, in which the pairing correlation is taken into account by the BCS-method wit h a constant pairing gap. It is found that triaxiality and pairing correlations play important roles in reproducing the experimental one proton separation energy. The single-particle level, the proton emission orbit, the deformation parameters beta = 0.22 and gamma = 28.98 and the corresponding spectroscopic factor for 145Tm in the triaxial RMF calculation are given as well.
We perform a systematic study of Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in the 2p1f shell, using the nuclear shell model with two schematic Hamiltonians. The use of the shell model provides flexibility to analyze the role of different proton-neutron pairing m odes in the presence of nuclear deformation. The schematic Hamiltonians that are used contain a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction as well as isoscalar (T=0) and isovector (T=1) pairing interactions, but differ in the single particle energies. The objective of the work is to observe the behavior of GT transitions in different isoscalar and isovector pairing scenarios, together with the corresponding energy spectra and rotational properties of the parent and daughter nuclei (42Ca -> 42Sc, 44Ca -> 44Sc, 46Ti -> 46V, 48Ti -> 48V). We also treat the rotational properties of 44Ti and 48Cr. All results are compared with experimental data. The results obtained from our models depend on the different scenarios that arise, whether for N = Z or N neq Z nuclei. In the latter case, the presence of an attractive isoscalar pairing interaction imposes a 1+ ground state in odd-odd nuclei, contrary to observations for some of the nuclei considered, and it is necessary to suppress that pairing mode when considering such nuclei. The effect of varying the strength parameters for the two pairing modes is found to exhibit different but systematic effects on energy spectra and on GT transition properties.

We investigate the influence of deformation on the possible occurrence of long-lived $K$ isomers in Hf isotopes around N=116, using configuration-constrained calculations of potential-energy surfaces. Despite having reduced shape elongation, the mult i-quasiparticle states in $^{186,188}$Hf remain moderately robust against triaxial distortion, supporting the long expected occurrence of exceptionally long-lived isomers. The calculations are compared with available experimental data.
Using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, we study the effect of charge asymmetry and isospin dependent cross-section on different aspects of elliptical flow. Simulations have been carried out for the reactions of $^{124}X_{m}+^{1 24}X_{m}$, where m = (47, 50, 53, 57 and 59) and $^{40}X_{n}+^{40}X_{n}$, where n= (14, 16, 18, 21 and 23). Our study shows that elliptical flow depend strongly on the isospin of cross-section. The transition energy remains almost constant with increase in N/Z of the system. A good agreement is obtained with experimental measurements.
