Study of Shape Coexistence in the Very Neutron-Deficient Nucleus {sup 176}Hg

Conference ·
OSTI ID:784397
The ground-state yrast band in {sup 176}Hg has been observed up to I = 10{Dirac_h} by using the recoil decay tagging (RDT) method. The irregularity of this band indicates that the prolate intruder band, seen in the heavier Hg isotopes near the neutron mid-shell, crosses the nearly spherical ground-state band of {sup 176}Hg above I = 6{Dirac_h}.
