Description
Nuclear theories often operate under the assumption that the strong nuclear force is independent of electric charge. As a result, it is expected that exchanging the number of protons with the number of neutrons in a nucleus will produce a mirror nucleus with identical structure after electromagnetic considerations. However, due to the charge dependence of the strong nuclear force, isospin non-conserving interactions give rise to quantities like Mirror Energy Differences between analogous excited states in mirror nuclei which cannot be accounted for by Coulombic forces.
This charge dependence is being explored at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre. Stable
This presentation will focus on highlighting the selectivity offered by combining TIGRESS, TIP, and EMMA for lifetime and electromagnetic transition rate measurements, as well as the present state of the ongoing analysis. In the longer term, this work aims to explore the
