Low-lying collective states in120Cd populated byβdecay of120Ag: Breakdown of the anharmonic vibrator model at the three-phonon level

An experimental view on shape coexistence in nuclei

“…One should also mention that there is considerable uncertainty in the assignment of the 0 + 2 level in 120 Cd. The 883-keV transition feeding the 2 + 1 level, attributed [367,368] to the decay of a 0 + state at 1389 keV, was shown to be a doublet and these γ rays were placed elsewhere in the level scheme by Batchelder et al [369]. This latest study, however, placed a previously unobserved transition of 630 keV feeding the 2 + 1 state, and suggested state.…”

Shape coexistence at low spin in theZ= 50 region and its spectroscopic signatures

“…Experiments performed to date include the β-decay of 110 In [47,48,85], 112 Ag/In [86,87], 116 In, and 122,124,126 Cs [88,89] studied with the p 8 spectrometer. A further study of 110 Cd via the decay of a long-lived source 110 Ag has been performed at Oak Ridge [90], and studies of the neutron-rich Cd isotopes 116,120,124,126 Cd [91][92][93] have been performed. Very recently, the Coulomb excitation of 110 Cd has been measured with a 32 S beam by the Warsaw group, and many of the stable Cd isotopes in an experiment using GRETINA and CHICO2 at Argonne National Laboratory.…”

Effective field theory for nuclear vibrations with quantified uncertainties

“…Refs. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] for recent references to a long-standing problem [3,18]. Proposed anharmonicities were deemed insufficient to account for the considerable differences between data and the harmonic model [3,19].…”
