Search for 0+ states in 42Ca

series of experiments were performed at the Institut Laue-Langevin high-power reactor facility. The FIPPS γ-ray spectrometer was used to perform complete low-spin spectroscopy of 42,43,44,45Ca isotopes in order to investigate the arise of shape coexistence in the Ca isotopic chain between the N = 20 and N = 28 shell closures. This article discusses some preliminary results on the even-even 42Ca nucleus and the search for excited 0+ states. The current study added 10 new levels and 109 new transitions to the existing γ decay scheme. Angular distribution analyses were also carried out for a number of transitions to determine the spin-parity of selected new levels.
