Study of shape coexistence in the very neutron-deficient nucleus {sup 176}Hg

The ground-state yrast band in {sup 176}Hg has been observed up to I=10({Dirac_h}/2{pi}) 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 gr...

Description
Summary:The ground-state yrast band in {sup 176}Hg has been observed up to I=10({Dirac_h}/2{pi}) 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}/2{pi})
