Abstract

The quenching of M1 transitions is discussed within the framework of an effective magnetic transition operator renormalized by virtual Δ(1232)-hole excitations. This scheme is applied to the M1 transition from the ground state to the 10.23 MeV (1+) state in 48Ca, a case which appears to reveal a comparatively simple shell-model structure. It is demonstrated that a large fraction of the observed quenching of the B(M1) value can be related to Δ(1232) degrees of freedom in a way consistent with the quenching of Gamow-Teller transitions.
