Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

Signatures of criticality in the evolution of the nuclear ground-state shapes across the N× Z
plane are discussed. Attention is paid to specific data indicating sudden structural changes …

A novel dual–shell mechanism for the phenomenon of shape coexistence in nuclei within
the Elliott SU (3) and the proxy-SU (3) symmetry is proposed for all mass regions. It is …

This review is focused on various properties of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in the
Interacting Boson Model (IBM) of nuclear structure. The model describes collective modes of …

Using covariant density functional theory with the DDME2 functional and labeling single-
particle energy orbitals by Nilsson quantum numbers, a search for particle-hole (ph) …

We report on the first γ-ray spectroscopy of low-lying states in neutron-rich Kr 98, 100
isotopes obtained from Rb 99, 101 (p, 2 p) reactions at∼ 220 MeV/nucleon. A reduction of …

We explore the situation of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs), for which a QPT
involving a crossing of two configurations is accompanied by a shape evolution of each …

The structure of low-lying states in the light krypton isotopes 72Kr, 74Kr, and 76Kr has been
studied with the finite-range Gogny D1S effective interaction via Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov …

Excited states in Sm 152 have been investigated with the Sm 152 (n, n′ γ) reaction. The
lowest four negative-parity band structures have been characterized in detail with respect to …

Neutron-rich Se 88, 90, 92, 94 isotopes were studied via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy after
nucleon removal reactions at intermediate energies at the Radioactive Isotope Beam …
