Isospin mixing and the cubic isobaric multiplet mass equation in the lowest T=2, A=32 quintet

ATOMIC MASSES ³²Ar, ³²Cl, ³²S, ³²P, ³²Si; analyzed experimental masses by a cubic fit to the isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME) for the lowest isospin T=2 quintet in A=32 nuclei; investigated isospin mixing by combining high-resolution experimental data for proton spectrum from ³²Ar β-delayed proton decay, and from triton spectrum in ³²S(³He, t) reaction with the state-of-the-art shell-model calculations; evaluated isospin mixing matrix elements; extracted cubic and quartic coefficients of the IMME; deduced that isospin mixing with nonanalog T=1 states contributes to the IMME breakdown. ³²Ar; analyzed experimental β-delayed proton spectrum by R-matrix fit; calculated proton emission amplitudes from states in ³²Cl.
