At the borderline of shape coexistence: Mo and Ru

E Maya-Barbecho, S Baid, JM Arias, JE García-Ramos - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
Background: Even-even isotopes of Mo (Z= 42) and Ru (Z= 44) are nuclei close to the
subshell closure at Z= 40, where shape coexistence plays a significant role. As a result, their …
