By exploiting the Doppler shift attenuation method, the lifetimes of the 2(2)(+) and 3(1)(+) states were firmly established. From the gamma-ray branching and E2/M1 mixing ratios for transitions deexciting the 2(2)(+) and 3(1)(+) states, the B(E2) and B(M1) were determined. Various chiral effective field theory Hamiltonians, describing the nuclear properties beyond ground states, along with a standard USDB interaction, were compared with the experimentally obtained data. Such a comparison for a large set of gamma-ray transition probabilities with the valence space in medium similarity renormalization group ab initio calculations was performed for the first time in a nucleus far from stability. It was shown that the ab initio approaches using chiral effective field theory forces are challenged by detailed high-precision spectroscopic properties of nuclei. The reduced transition probabilities were found to be a very constraining test of the performance of the ab initio models.", optnote="WOS:001153473000002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5977), last updated on Fri, 22 Mar 2024 08:47:12 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.262501", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.262501", language="English" }
