Isospin symmetry breaking in the mirror pair 73Sr-73Br
Abstract
The recent experimental observation of isospin symmetry breaking (ISB) in the ground states of the T=3/2 mirror pair 73Sr - 73Br is theoretically studied using large-scale shell model calculations. The large valence space and the successful PFSDG-U effective interaction used for the nuclear part of the problem capture possible structural changes and provide a robust basis to treat the ISB effects of both electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic origin. The calculated shifts and mirror-energy-differences are consistent with the inversion of the Iπ= 1/2-, 5/2- states between 73Sr - 73Br, and suggest that the role played by the Coulomb interaction is dominant. An isospin breaking contribution of nuclear origin is estimated to be ≈ 25 keV.
