The β-decay properties of the neutron-deficient nuclei 25 Si and 26 P have been investigated at the GANIL/LISE3 facility by means of charged-particle and γ-ray spectroscopy. The decay schemes obtained and the Gamow-Teller strength distributions are compared to shell-model calculations based on the USD interaction. B(GT ) values derived from the absolute measurement of the β-decay branching ratios give rise to a quenching factor of the Gamow-Teller strength of 0.6. A precise half-life of 43.7 (6) ms was determined for 26 P , the β −(2)p decay mode of which is described.PACS. 29.30.Ep Charged-particle spectroscopy -29.30.Kv X-and gamma-ray spectroscopy -23.90.+w
