Popis: The $^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$($t$,$^{3}\mathrm{He}$) reaction has been studied by using a secondary triton beam of 115 MeV/nucleon to extract the Gamow-Teller transition-strength distribution to $^{64}\mathrm{Cu}$. The results were compared with shell-model calculations with the $\mathit{pf}$-shell effective interactions KB3G and GXPF1A and with existing data from the $^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$($d$,$^{2}\mathrm{He}$) reaction. Whereas the experimental results exhibited good consistency, neither of the theoretical predictions managed to reproduce the data. The implications for electron-capture rates during late stellar evolution were investigated. The rates based on the theoretical strength distributions are lower by factors of 3.5--5 compared to the rates based on experimental strength distributions.
