Shape coexistence in the near-spherical ¹⁴²Sm nucleus

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹¹⁶Cd(³¹P, 4np), E=148 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γ(θ), γγ(θ)(DCO), γ(θ)(ADO), γγ(linear polarization), level half-lives by DSAM and isomer half-lives by γ(t) using INGA array at TIFR-BARC Pelletron Linac facility. ¹⁴²Sm; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, multipolarity, bands, magnetic dipole rotational band, B(M1), B(E2), configurations; calculated total energy surfaces contours in β₂-γ plane. Comparison with shell model, cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS), and semiclassical principle axis cranking (SPAC) model calculations.
