Direct-decay properties of charge-exchange spin giant resonances
  An extended continuum-RPA approach is applied to describe direct-decay properties of spin giant resonances in $^{208}$Bi and $^{90}$Nb. Partial branching ratios for direct proton decay from these resonances are evaluated. The branching ratio for $\gamma$-decay from the spin-dipole resonance to the Gamow-Teller resonance (main peak) is estimated. The saturation-like behaviour of the mean doorway-state spreading width in $^{208}$Pb is discussed in connection with the branching ratio for direct proton decay from the spin-monopole resonance and the Gamow-Teller strength distribution.
