Disentangling the nuclear shape coexistence in even-even Hg isotopes using the interacting boson model

Abstract

We intend to provide a consistent description of the even-even Hg isotopes, 172-200Hg, using the interacting boson model including configuration mixing. We pay special attention to the description of the shape of the nuclei and to its connection with the shape coexistence phenomenon. Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015.
