Isospin impurity of the Isobaric Analogue State of super-allowed beta decay experimental technique isospin impurity determination Bertram Blank, CEN Bordeaux-Gradignan ESNT, Saclay, April, 26-29, 2011
The idea: T, T z - 1 T-3/2, T z -3/2 T, T z Super-allowed decay Proton emission T - 1, T z - 1 Gamma decay
The idea: 52 Co: T=2, T z =-1 51 Fe: T=1/2, T z =-1/2 52 Ni: T=2, T z= -2 Super-allowed decay Proton emission: T=1/2, T z = -1/2 T= ½ + ½ T = 1, T z = -1 T = 2 Gamma decay Can one determine the isospin impurity of the IAS?
