Abstract
New results for the Coulomb energy differences in the
A=47 mirror nuclei
47Cr and
47V for yrast states up to spin
31
2
ℏ are presented and shown to agree with earlier predictions made within a deformed, crancked shell model approach. The observed total difference in Coulomb displacement energies at low and high angular momenta is also explained within the spherical shell model. The first example of alignment in an
N=
Z nucleus,
48Cr, is reported.
