Shape coexistence and the role of axial asymmetry in ${}^{72}$Ge

A. D. Ayangeakaa, R. V. F. Janssens, C. Y. Wu +22

The quadrupole collectivity of low-lying states and the anomalous behavior of the $0_2^{+}$ and $2_3^{+}$ levels in ${}^{72}$Ge are investigated via projectile multi-step Coulomb excitat…
