Abstract

A recent experiment located the lowest 2⁺ state in ²⁰Mg and discovered that the corresponding 2⁺, T = 2 state in ²⁰F does not fit expectations of the isobaric multiplet mass equation without a d term.We have calculated the energies of the ground and 2⁺ states in ²⁰Mg and the 2⁺ in ²⁰F in a potential model, using shell-model spectroscopic factors. We conclude that this important ²⁰F state has likely never been observed, and suggest a reaction to find it.
