Shape co-existence and parity doublet in Zr isotopes

Abstract

We studied the ground and excited states properties for Zr isotopes starting^M from proton to neutron drip-lines using the relativistic and non-relativistic mean field formalisms with BCS and Bogolyubov pairing. The celebrity NL3 and SLy4 parameter sets are used in the calculations. We find spherical ground and low-lying^M superdeformed excited states in most of the isotopes. Several couples of^M ${\Omega }^{\pi }=1/2^{\pm }$ parity doublets configurations are found,^M while analyzing the single-particle energy levels of the superdeformed ^M configurations.
