Watkins, H. et al. (2011) Lifetime measurements probing triple shape coexistence in ¹⁷⁵Au. Physical Review C, 84(5), 051302(R). (doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.84.051302)

Abstract

Lifetimes of the low-lying excited states in the very neutron-deficient nucleus 175Au have been measured by the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method using γ-ray spectra obtained with the recoil-decay tagging technique. Transition quadrupole moments and reduced transition probabilities extracted for this odd-Z nucleus indicate the existence of three different shapes and the competition between collective and noncollective structures.
