Shape coexistence in ⁶⁸Ni

RADIOACTIVITY ⁶⁸Co(β^-)[from ⁹Be(⁷⁶Ge, X), E=130 MeV/nucleon]; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, internal transitions, internal-conversion decay, electron-positron pair production from first excited 0+ state using germanium double-sided strip detector (GeDSSD) and SeGA array at NSCL-MSU facility. ⁶⁸Ni; deduced level energy of first excited 0+ state, E0 transition strength, level half-life, difference in deformation between the excited 0+ state and the ground state. Comparison with Monte-Carlo shell-model calculations using several interactions, and with experimental data for excited 0+ states in ⁹⁰Zr.
