The reaction Ca40+Ca40 at Ebeam=136 MeV was used to form the compound nucleus in the isospin I=0 channel, while the reaction Cl37+Ca44 at Ebeam=95 MeV was used as the reference reaction. The γ rays were detected with the AGATA demonstrator array coupled with LaBr3:Ce detectors. The temperature dependence of the isospin mixing was obtained and the zero-temperature value deduced. The isospin-symmetry-breaking correction δC used for the Fermi superallowed transitions was extracted and found to be consistent with β-decay data.This work was supported by PRIN No. 2001024324_01302, the Polish National Center for Science Grants No. 2013/08/ M/ST2/00591 and No. 2011/03/B/ST2/01894, and the Spanish Grant No. FPA2011-29854-C04-01.
