Absence of M2 Retardation in 35Cl: Evidence for Stronger Isospin-Mixing Effects in A=35 Mirror Nuclei
Abstract
The lifetime of the 3163 keV, 7/2- isomeric state in 35Cl that decays by a stretched M2 transition to the 3/2+ ground state, has been re-measured using the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method, by gating on the 1185 keV transition which directly feeds this state. This eliminates the uncertainties in the measurement arising from the direct feedings from the continuum. A mean life of 0.6+0.5-0.2 ps has been obtained from the present work. This is considerably smaller than the adopted value 45.3(6) ps. Implication of this major reduction in the lifetime has been pointed out.
