Structure of Krypton isotopes calculated with symmetry conserving configuration mixing methods

Abstract

Shape transitions and shape coexistence in the ${}^{70-98}$Kr region are studied in a unified view with state-of-the-art beyond self-consistent mean field methods based on the Gogny D1S interaction. Beyond mean field effects are taken into account through the exact angular momentum and particle number restoration and the possibility of axial and non-axial shape mixing. The results of the low-lying properties of these isotopes are in good agreement with the experimental data when the triaxial degree of freedom is included. Shape transitions from axial-oblate (${}^{70-72}$Kr) to triaxial-prolate (${}^{74-78}$Kr) and from spherical-triaxial (${}^{86-92}$Kr) to axial-oblate (${}^{94-98}$Kr) ground states are obtained. Additionally, low-lying $0^{+}$ excited states and quasi-gamma bands are found showing the richness of the collective structure in this region.
