Abstract

The Coulomb displacement energy between isobaric analogue states is calculated as a function of the rms radius of the distribution of the excess neutrons for a known value of the rms radius of the charge distribution in the neutron analogue. The exchange term, the Coulomb spin-orbit term and the Thomas-Ehrman shift are included and effects of configuration mixing are studied. It is concluded that if the rms radius of the charge distribution and the Coulomb displacement energies are known, the rms radius of the excess neutrons can be extracted to an accuracy of better than ±0.1 fm.
