FIRST γ-RAY SPECTROSCOPY AND ISOSPIN SYMMETRY STUDY OF THE N = Z - 2 NUCLEUS 44V
Abstract
Excited states in the Tz = -1 nucleus 44V have been observed for the first time. The states have been identified through recoil-γ-γ coincidences and comparison with analogue states in the mirror nucleus 44Sc. Mirror energy differences have been extracted and compared to state-of-the-art fp shell-model calculations which include charge symmetry breaking forces.
