Abstract
The GRIFFIN spectrometer at TRIUMF-ISAC has been used to study excited states and transitions in following the decay of . Branching ratios were determined from the measured -ray intensities, and angular correlations of rays have been used to firmly assign the spins of excited states. The presence of an isomeric state that decays by an transition with a strength of 13.6(7) W.u. has been confirmed. We compare the first ab initio calculations of ) strengths in light- and medium-mass nuclei from the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group approach, using consistently derived effective Hamiltonians and effective operator. The experimental data are well reproduced for isoscalar transitions when using bare factors, but the strength of isovector transitions are found to be underestimated by an order of magnitude.
