Phys. Rev. C 78, 064311 (2008) [8 pages]Structure of A=82 analogs and isospin-symmetry-breaking effects on superallowed Fermi β decayReceived 23 July 2008; published 17 December 2008 We study the effects of the isospin-symmetry breaking on the superallowed Fermi β decay of the ground state of 82Nb to 82Zr. Results on the analog as well as nonanalog β-decay branches are self-consistently obtained within the complex excited VAMPIR approach. The 82Nb → 82Zr β decay to the first two excited 0+ states with significant strength is predicted to coexist with the superallowed decay. The structure and electromagnetic properties of the analog and nonanalog low- and high-spin states in 82Nb and 82Zr are compared with the available experimental data. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
