β-delayed one-proton emissions of ^{22}Si, the lightest nucleus with an isospin projection T_{z}=-3, are studied with a silicon array surrounded by high-purity germanium detectors. Properties of β-decay branches and the reduced transition probabilities for the transitions to the low-lying states of ^{22}Al are determined. Compared to the mirror β decay of ^{22}O, the largest value of mirror asymmetry in low-lying states by far, with δ=209(96), is found in the transition to the first 1^{+} excited state. Shell-model calculation with isospin-nonconserving forces, including the T=1, J=2, 3 interaction related to the s_{1/2} orbit that introduces explicitly the isospin-symmetry breaking force and describes the loosely bound nature of the wave functions of the s_{1/2} orbit, can reproduce the observed data well and consistently explain the observation that a large δ value occurs for the first but not for the second 1^{+} excited state of ^{22}Al. Our results, while supporting the proton-halo structure in ^{22}Al, might provide another means to identify halo nuclei.
利用由高纯锗探测器环绕的硅阵列,研究了具有同位旋投影(T_{z}=-3)的最轻原子核(^{22}Si)的β延迟单质子发射。确定了β衰变分支的性质以及向(^{22}Al)低激发态跃迁的约化跃迁概率。与(^{22}O)的镜像β衰变相比,在向第一个(1^{+})激发态跃迁中发现了迄今为止低激发态中最大的镜像不对称值,(\delta = 209(96))。包含与(s_{1/2})轨道相关的(T = 1)、(J = 2)、(3)相互作用的同位旋非守恒力的壳模型计算,明确引入了同位旋对称性破缺力并描述了(s_{1/2})轨道波函数的松散束缚性质,能够很好地再现观测数据,并一致地解释了在(^{22}Al)的第一个而非第二个(1^{+})激发态出现大(\delta)值的观测结果。我们的结果在支持(^{22}Al)中的质子晕结构的同时,可能为识别晕核提供另一种方法。
