Abstract
A direct QEC-value measurement of the superallowed β+ emitter 22Mg was performed using TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear Science. The direct ground-state to ground-state atomic mass difference between 22Mg and 22Na was determined to be QEC = 4781.40(22) keV, representing the most precise single measurement of this quantity to date. In a continued push toward calculating superallowed isospin-symmetrybreaking corrections from first principles, ab initio shell-model calculations of the A = 22 isobaric multiplet mass equation are also presented for the first time using the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group formalism. With particular starting two- and three-nucleon forces, this approach demonstrates good agreement
