Spectroscopy of proton-rich 66^Se up to J^�� = 6^+: isospin-breaking effect in the A = 66 isobaric triplet

2013

Candidates for three excited states in the 66^Se have been identified using the recoil-�� tagging method together with a veto detector for charged-particle evaporation channels. These results allow a comparison of mirror and triplet energy differences between analogue states across the A = 66 triplet as a function of angular momentum. The extracted triplet energy differences follow the negative trend observed in the f_7/2 shell. Shell-model calculations indicate a continued need for an additional isospin non-conserving interaction in addition to the Coulomb isotensor part as a function of mass.
