“…Charge-exchange reactions are isobaric transitions in which a neutron in the target is exchanged with a proton in the projectile, or vice versa. These reactions can be performed using singlenucleon probes, such as (n, p) or (p, n) reactions, but experimentally it is often advantageous to use composite probes, such as (t, 3 He) or (d, 2 He), or even heavy-ion probes, such as ( 12 C, 12 N) and ( 7 Li, 7 Be). These reactions are mediated by the strong nuclear force via pion exchange but populate the same initial and final states as processes mediated by the weak force and, therefore, can be used as probes in regions where β-decay or β-delayed neutron-emission (β-n) data are unavailable or energetically forbidden (see Figure 5).…”
