Abstract

In order to comprehend the process underlying mirror energy differences in mirror pairs, we have performed shell-model calculations for Tz=±2T_z= \pm 2 sdsd-shell nuclei in the mass range AA= 20 to 36 and neutron number varying from NN= 8 to 20. Isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB) is responsible for the mirror energy difference of excited states. We have investigated the {\color{black}isospin non-conserving} interactions: USDC and USDCm to explore the low-lying energy spectra, mirror energy differences, isoscalar (M0M_0), isovector (M1M_1) matrix elements, \textit{E2} transition probability, magnetic (μ\mu), and quadrupole moments (QQ) of mirror-pair and compared them with their available experimental data. The impact of single-particle states on weakly bound and unbound nuclear states are investigated, especially those of the ss-wave. We have also analyzed single proton/neutron separation energies and proton/neutron occupancy for (TzT_z=-2)/(TzT_z=+2) sdsd-shell nuclei.
