Title: One-proton and one-neutron knockout reactions from N = Z = 28 Ni 56 to the A = 55 mirror pair Co 55 and Ni 55

Abstract

We present a high-resolution in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy study of excited states in the mirror nuclei 55Co and 55Ni following one-nucleon knockout from a projectile beam of 56Ni. The newly determined partial cross sections and the γ-decay properties of excited states provide a test of state-of-the-art nuclear structure models and probe mirror symmetry in unique ways. The new experimental data are compared to large-scale shell-model calculations in the full pf space which include charge-dependent contributions. A mirror asymmetry for the partial cross sections leading to the two lowest 3/2- states in the A = 55 mirror pair was identified as well as a significant difference in the E1 decays from the 1/2$$_1^+$$ state to the same two 3/2- states. The mirror asymmetry in the partial cross sections cannot be reconciled with the present shell-model picture or small mixing introduced in a two-state model. The observed mirror asymmetry in the E1 decay pattern, however, points at stronger mixing between the two lowest 3/2- states in 55Co than in its mirror 55Ni.
