Abstract: (Elsevier)
Mechanisms of isospin violation in the nuclear force due to the Δ-isobar are studied. They arise from the coupling of the Δ to the photon and from the charge splitting of the Δ-mass. The charge-asymmetry contribution of the Δ to the 3 He- 3 H binding-energy difference is calculated. Cancellations between different mechanisms are found yielding a small total result. The effect of the photon-induced Δ-excitation, traditionally considered, is negligible. The uncertainty in the Δ-mass splitting shows up in a sizeable theoretical uncertainty for the total result.
