Shape coexistence scenario in ¹⁵⁰Sm from a γ-γ fast-timing measurement

RADIOACTIVITY ¹⁵⁰Pm(β^-)[from ¹⁵⁰Nd(p, n), E=8.0 MeV at VECC-Kolkata]; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, level half-lives by γγ(t) using an array of six Compton-suppressed Clover HPGe detectors and VENTURE array of eight CeBr₃ detectors. ¹⁵⁰Sm; deduced levels, J, π, B(E2), ρ²(E0), shape coexistence and shape mixing. Comparison with IBM and DPPQ calculations. Systematics of B(E2) and ρ²(E0) values for ^150,152Sm, ^156,158Gd.
