Origin of the electric hexadecapole isomer in Mo
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of Mo to investigate the unusual behavior of its isomer -- a prominent candidate for nuclear excitation by electronic capture. T…

Quantifying neutron-proton interactions in isotones: from NEEC candidate Mo to Cd
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of isotones, Mo, Ru, Pd, and Cd, to quantify the role of neutron-proton interactions in shaping the location an…
