What it covers
CERN INTC letter of intent INTC-I-157: high-precision masses of odd-odd T=1 nuclides to test the Isobaric Multiplet Mass Equation.
Methods and setup
Penning-trap masses of analogue states that should lie on a smooth quadratic in isospin projection, if charge-dependent forces are under control.
Why it matters
A break in the IMME is a signal of isospin mixing or a wrong level assignment. Odd-odd T=1 cases are the sharpest test because the analogue states are closest.
