Shape coexistence in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes studied via lifetime measurements in ${}^{184,186}$Hg and two-state mixing calculations

L. P. Gaffney, M. Hackstein, R. D. Page +24

The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes, ${}^{184,186}$Hg, were studied with the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) method using the Gammasphere array and the Köln Plunger device. T…
