Low energy E0 transitions in odd-mass nuclei of the neutron deficient 180

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5462296
The region of neutron-deficient nuclei near Z = 82 and N = 104 provides the most extensive example of low-energy shape coexistence anywhere on the mass surface. It is shown that E0 and E0 admixed transitions may be used as a fingerprint to identify shape coexistence in odd-mass nuclei. It is also shwon that all the known cases where equally low-lying O/sup +/ states occur in neighboring even-even nuclei. A discussion of these and other relevant data as well as suggestions for new studies which may help to clarify, and more importantly, quantify the connection between E0 transitions and shape coexistence are presented.
