Possible deformed states in 115In and 117In

Analogous intruder behavior near Ni, Sn, and Pb isotopes

“…In 66,68 [7] associated with particle-hole excitations across the Z = 50 gap set off a flurry of investigations in the adjacent 49 In, 50 Sn, and 51 Sb nuclei [8,9] as well as in 81 Tl, 82 Pb, and 83 Bi nuclei. Such studies eventually led to the establishment of full sets of complementary, intruder states based on particle-hole excitations in both regions of Z (50 and 82).…”

New low-energy0+state and shape coexistence inNi70

“…Shape coexistence occurs when two or more states with different underlying configurations of protons and/or neutrons associated with differing intrinsic shapes coexist at similar excitation energies [6]. Prominent examples of this type of shape coexistence can be found in both the Hg [7][8][9] and Sn [10][11][12][13] regions. In particular, 186 Pb exhibits triple shape coexistence between spherical, prolate, and oblate configurations, all located within 700 keV [14].…”

Evidence of the spectator role of unpaired nucleons of the target nucleus in (p, ?) reactions

“…This fact could be due to different reasons: first, the quite notable residual rc reactions [17], invalidates the weak coupling approximation which seems to hold in the case of 2~ and 14~ thus allowing a clear identification of homologous states; second, the structure of low lying states of algIn and 12~ might be quite dissimilar. In fact, as it was reported by some authors [25][26][27], the low lying states of In isotopes present collective features (rotational bands and enhanced B(E2)7 transitions) which could demonstrate a deformation of these nuclei.…”
