Isospin-mixing correction for fp-shell Fermi transitions
Isospin-mixing corrections for superallowed Fermi transitions in fp-shell nuclei are computed within the framework of the shelf model. The study includes a re-evaluation of three nuclei that are part of the set of nine accurately measured transitions and five new cases that are expected to be measured in the future at radioactive-beam facilities. For the heavier fp-shell nuclei, both the configuration mixing term, {delta}{sub IM}, and the radial-overlap mis-match correction, {delta}{sub RO}, are much larger than in the case of the previous nine transitions. For the nine accurately measured transitions, excellent agreement with the CVC hypothesis is found. but the CKM matrix is found to violate the unitarity condition at the level of 3 {sigma}.
