Shape coexistence in the lead region from a ground-state perspective

Abstract

Ground-state properties are the basis upon which the nuclear levels are built. They are therefore essential building blocks to the understanding of any nuclear phenomenon at low energy, such as shape coexis- tence. Moreover, their study can determine the extent to which shape coexistence leads to the mixing of different configuration. In the region around 186Pb, an extensive laser spectroscopy programme has been undertaken at the CERN ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility at both the RILIS and CRIS experiments for the study of the even-Z 82Pb and 84Po isotopes, and the odd-Z 79Au, 81Tl, 83Bi, 85At, and 87Fr
