Abstract

The recent experimental observation of isospin symmetry breaking (ISB) in the ground states of the T=3/2T=3/2 mirror pair 73^{73}Sr - 73^{73}Br is theoretically studied using large-scale shell model calculations. The large valence space and the successful PFSDG-U effective interaction used for the nuclear part of the problem capture possible structural changes and provide a robust basis to treat the ISB effects of both electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic origin. The calculated shifts and mirror-energy-differences are consistent with the inversion of the IπI^{\pi}= 1/2,5/2^{-}, 5/2^{-} states between 73^{73}Sr - 73^{73}Br, and suggest that the role played by the Coulomb interaction is dominant. An isospin breaking contribution of nuclear origin is estimated to be 25\approx 25 keV.
