Isobaric Analog State in ^{96} Ag

Abstract

Preiviously, in a single j-shell calculation (j=g_{9/2}), we obtained the excitation energy of the T=2 J=0+ isobaric analog state in ^{96} Ag to be a bit below 1 MeV relative to the J=8+ T=1 ground state . We here use binding energy data and Coulomb energy estimates to obtain this same excitation energy and to see if the 2 approaches are consistent.
