Abstract
Detailed spectroscopic measurements of excited states in and were performed using 24-MeV transfer reactions on and , respectively. In total, 45 states in and 67 states in were observed up to excitation energies of 5.5 MeV, including several previously unobserved states. These experimental results are compared to ab-initio shell-model calculations using chiral effective field theory with the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group method. This comparison demonstrates good agreement in the level orderings with these new theoretical methods, albeit with a slight overbinding in the calculations. This work is part of a continued push to benchmark ab-initio theoretical techniques to nuclear-structure data in superallowed Fermi -decay systems.
