Title: Isospin symmetry in B ( E 2 ) values: Coulomb excitation study of Mg 21

Abstract

The Tz = -$$\frac{3}{2}$$ nucleus 21Mg has been studied by Coulomb excitation on 196Pt and 110+ ground state to the first excited $$\frac{1}{2}$$+ state in 21Mg was observed for the first time. Coulomb excitation cross-section measurements with both targets and a measurement of the half-life of the $$\frac{1}{2}$$+ state yield an adopted value of B (E2; $$\frac{5}{2}$$+ → $$\frac{1}{2}$$+) = 13.3 (4) W.u. A new excited state at 1672(1) keV with tentative $$\frac{9}{2}$$+ assignment was also identified in 21Mg . This work demonstrates a large difference in the B (E2; $$\frac{5}{2}$$+ → $$\frac{1}{2}$$+) value between T = $$\frac{3}{2}$$, A = 21 mirror nuclei. Lastly, the difference is investigated in the shell-model framework employing both isospin conserving and breaking USD interactions and using modern ab initio nuclear structure calculations, which have recently become applicable in the s d shell.
