Pb:│Qt │ → │β2 │ = 0.29(5) for the ”pure” prolate states

Po:│Qt │ → │β2 │ = 0.17(3)

for the oblate states- the ground state of 194Po is a pure

Interpretation of E0 transition rates

33

Interpretation: Weak mixing ( 10/90) between the spherical 0+ state and the deformed 2neutron-2hole intruder 0+ state (ß = 0,27)

Comment :

= 8.7 × 10-3 is a small value for an E0 transition in light nuclei

Does it make sense to apply such a simple model for such a weak E0 ?

Example: 2neutron-2 hole intruders on the island of inversion

The simple two-level mixing model:

!!

Simple shell-model:

”Single-particle” value: = 40 × 10-3 (A=44)

(= E0 connecting 50/50 mixed 0+ states involving 2 protons occupying orbitals from different oscillator shells )

E0’s involving neutron excitations :
