Microscopic origin of shape coexistence in the N=90, Z=64 region

A microscopic explanation of the nature of shape coexistence in the N=90, Z=64 region is suggested, based on calculations of single particle energies through standard covariant density functional theory. It is suggested that shape coexistence in the N=90 region is caused by the protons, which create...
