Coulomb Exertation of $^{46}$V and Testing Isospin Symmetry in the $A=46$, $T=1$ Multiplet

A beam of the rare isotope $^{46}$V was studied via intermediate energy Coulomb excitation at 60 MeV/nucleon at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). $B(E2;0^+_{g.s.} \rightarrow 2^+_1)$ value of $^{46}$V was used to calculate the $M_o$ value for the nucleus. The extracted $M_o$ value in $^{46}$V was compared with the isoscalar multipole matrix element extracted from the previously determined $B(E2;0^+_{g.s.}\rightarrow 2^+_1)$ of $^{46}$Cr and $^{46}$Ti. Preliminary results will be presented.
