Background: Shape coexistence in heavy nuclei poses a strong challenge to state-of-the-art nuclear models, where several competing shape minima are found close the ground state. A classic region for investigating this phenomenon is around $Z=82$ and neutron mid-shell at $N=104$. Purpose: Evidence has been inferred from $\alpha$-decay measurements, laser spectroscopy in-beam measurements. While latter allow pattern of excited states rotational band structures be mapped out, detailed...
