title = "Probing the collective degrees of freedom at the proton drip line in the extremely neutron deficient 172Hg",
abstract = "Excited states in the extremely neutron-deficient isotope 172Hg have been established for the first time. The 96Ru( 78Kr,2n) reaction was employed to populate excited states in 172Hg with a cross section σ ≈ 15 nb. The highly selective Recoil-Decay Tagging (RDT) technique was used to obtain clean in-beam γ-ray spectra for 172Hg. The yrast ground-state band has tentatively been established up to I=6{\=h}. The data have been interpreted within the framework of total Routhian surface and quasiparticle random phase approximation calculations. In addition to the well-known features of shape coexistence previously observed in light Hg isotopes, the systematic trends in the energy of the yrast 2 + and 4 + states in the chain of Hg isotopes indicate a pronounced vibrational collectivity which is reduced in strength, but at the same time shows a higher degree of harmonicity, as the neutron number decreases below the neutron midshell.",
