Effects of shape coexistence and configuration mixing on low-lying states in tellurium isotopes

Abstract

Low-energy quadrupole collective states in even-even tellurium (Te) isotopes are studied using the interacting boson model with configuration mixing. The corresponding Hamiltonian is determined by means of the microscopic nuclear structure calculations within the self-consistent mean-field method employing a given energy density functional and pairing interaction. Calculated low-energy levels for nonyrast states show a parabolic behavior characteristic of the shape-coexisting structure. The intruder prolate-shape configuration is shown to mix strongly with the normal oblate-shape configuration, and play an important role in determining the low-lying structure in the Te isotopes near the middle of the neutron major shell closures.
