Gamow-Teller Matrix-Elements From O-0 (P,N) Cross-Sections

After simple corrections for distortion effects, 120-MeV, 0\\ifmmode^\\circ\\else\\textdegree\\fi{} ($p, n$) cross sections are found to be proportional to the squares of the corresponding Fermi and Gamow-Teller matrix elements extracted from $\\ensuremath{\\beta}$-decay measurements. It is suggested that this proportionality can be used to extract Gamow-Teller matrix elements for transitions inaccessible to $\\ensuremath{\\beta}$ decay.
