Giant dipole radiation and isospin purity in highly excited32S nuclei Original Research Article

We have extracted the degree of isospin mixing in32S at the excitation energy of 58 MeV by comparing measured and calculated high-energy γ-ray spectra from the statistical decay of the32S and31P compound nuclei formed in heavy-ion fusion reactions. We have found that the isospin mixing is small in agreement with theoretical predictions.
