Spectroscopy of heavy nuclei by configuration mixing of symmetry restored mean-field states: Shape coexistence in neutron-deficient Pb isotopes

Abstract

We study shape coexistence and low-energy excitation spectra in neutron-deficient Pb isotopes using configuration mixing of angular-momentum and particle-number projected self-consistent mean-field states. The same Skyrme interaction SLy6 is used everywhere in connection with a density-dependent zero-range pairing force.
