Coulomb Excitation of $^{50}$Mn and Isospin Symmetry in the $A=50$, $T=1$ Multiplet
POSTER
Abstract
The $2_1^+$ of $^{50}$Mn has been studied using intermediate energy Coulomb excitation at 61 MeV/nucleon at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. Here a preliminary $B(E2:0^+_{g.s}\rightarrow2_1^+)$ value for $^{50}$Mn is presented. Using this result and $B(E2)$ values previously determined for $^{50}$Fe and $^{50}$Cr, a test of isospin purity in the Mass 50, $T=1$ multiplet is performed.
