Shape coexistence in
Abstract
The internal-conversion and internal-pair-production decays of the first excited 0 + state in 68Ni are studied following the β decay of 68Co. A novel experimental technique, in which the ions of 68 Co were implanted into a planar germanium double-sided strip detector and which required digital pulse processing, is developed. The values for the energy of the first excited 0 + state and the electric monopole transition strength from the first excited 0 + state to the ground state in 68Ni are determined to be 1605(3) keV and 7.6 (4) × 10 -3 , respectively. Comparisons of the experimental results to Monte Carlo shell-model calculations suggest the coexistence between a spherical ground state and an oblate first excited 0 + state in 68Ni.
