Coulomb Excitation of $^{46}$V and Testing Isospin Symmetry in the $A=46$, $T=1$ Multiplet

A beam of the rare isotope $^{46}$V was studied via intermediate energy Coulomb excitation at 60 MeV/nucleon at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The $B(E2;0^{+}_{g.s.}\rightarrow 2^{+}_1)$ value of $^{46}$V was used to calculate the M$_{o}$ value for the nucleus. The extracted M$_{o}$ value in $^{46}$V was compared with the isoscalar multipole matrix element extracted from the previously determined $B(E2;0^{+}_{g.s.}\rightarrow 2^{+}_1)$ values of $^{46}$Cr and $^{46}$Ti. Preliminary results will be presented.
