The lifetime of the first 2
T=1 + state in42 Sc has been measured as 74(16) fs. This result gives a value for the isoscalar matrix element of M0=6.63(76). From the mirror nuclei,42 Ca andT Ti, the isoscalar matrix element is given as 7.15(48) W.u., confirming isospin purity in the A=42 isobars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
