Type: article
Abstract: We apply the complex-scaling method (CSM) to the α + α + N three-body model to study the nuclear structure of Be 9 and B 9 nuclei, focusing mainly on mirror symmetry in the resonant states. In our previous paper [], we reported the energy-level structure below about 15 MeV excitation energy in Be 9 and B 9 nuclei and discussed the significant effect of the Coulomb force. In this paper, we investigate the wave functions of these states, i.e., the matter- and charge-distribution radii, and the cluster-channel amplitudes. The results show a clear mirror-symmetry breaking between Be 9 and B 9 nuclei, which is mainly due to the Coulomb interaction.
