title: Coulomb energy difference as a probe of isospin-symmetry breaking in the upper f p-shell nuclei.
abstract: The anomaly in Coulomb energy differences (CEDs) between the isospin T=1 states in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus 70Br and the analogue states in its even-even partner 70Se has remained a puzzle. This is a direct manifestation of isospin-symmetry breaking in effective nuclear interactions. Here, we perform large-scale shell-model calculations for nuclei with A=66 to 78 using the new filter diagonalization method based on the Sakurai-Sugiura algorithm. The calculations reproduce well the experimental CED. The observed negative CED for A=70 are accounted for by the cross-shell neutron excitations from the fp shell to the g(9/2) intruder orbit with the enhanced electromagnetic spin-orbit contribution at this special nucleon number.
