Breaking of the Isospin Symmetry and CED in the A70 mass region: the T

N~Z A=70 Nuclei: 70Se, 70Br, 70KrCharacteristic features can be extracted through CED?

Strong Collective Effects (Np=Nn) (Shape co-existence)Nuclear Isospin Symmetry

A=70 isobaric nuclei has an unusual behavior of the CED, a negative tendency with increasing spin.

Strong Collective Effects (Np=Nn)

Shape co-existence

Coulomb Energy Difference (CED)

But in reality, Isospin non-conserving interactions with Coulomb force break the isospin symmetry!!

A plot of CED with increasing angular momentum will be a good tool to study the collective properties of the nuclei N/=Z
