Comparison of the Gamow-Teller strength distribution in 58Co extracted from
58Ni(t,3He) data at 115 MeV/nucleon [Col06] and large-scale shell model calculations [Hag04],
with the GXPF1 interaction [Hon04] (top left) and the KB3G interaction [Pov01] (top right). The
bottom panel shows electron-capture rates based on the experimental and theoretical Gamow-
Teller strength distributions and for conditions during the precollapse stage of a massive star
(density (ρ) times electron fraction (Ye) of 107 gcm-3). Adapted from [Col06].
