Popis: Excited states in Cr46 were sought using the C12(Ar36,2n) reaction. Gamma rays were detected with the Gammasphere array, and the Z value of the reaction products was determined with an ionization chamber located at the focal plane of the Fragment Mass Analyzer. In addition to the ground-state band observed up to IÏ€=10+ (tentatively 12+), five states are proposed to belong to the 3- band. The mirror energy differences with the analog states in Ti46 present a pronounced staggering effect between the odd and even spin members that is reproduced well by shell-model calculations incorporating the different Coulomb contributions, monopole, multipole, and single-particle effects together with an isospin-nonconserving interaction that accounts for the so-called J=2 anomaly. Dramatically different E1 decay patterns for members of the 3- band between the Cr46 and Ti46 mirrors are also observed.
