“…This approach (axial GCM-PNAMP) has been successfully applied to study many phenomena like, for example, the appearance or degradation of shell closures in neutron rich nuclei [3,[5][6][7], shape coexistence in proton rich Kr [8] or Pb [9,10] isotopes or shape transitions in the A ∼ 150 region [11,12]. However, the intrinsic wave functions used there were restricted to have axial symmetry, with K = 0, because this assumption simplifies considerably the angular momentum projection and lightens the computational burden significantly.…”
