The measured Gamow-Teller strength in {sup 37}Ca {beta}{sup +} decay, which has an unusually high energy release, differs significantly from shell-model predictions and also from the analogous strength inferred from the {sup 37}Cl({ital p},{ital n}) reaction. This calls into question the claim, based primarily on shell-model analyses of low-energy-release {beta}-decay rates and ({ital p},{ital n}) cross sections, that {ital g}{sub {ital A}} is significantly renormalized in complex nuclei.
