Abstract

The yrast lines in Kr isotopes with N=42, 44, and 46 are investigated in a beyond mean field framework with both prolate-oblate coexistence and quasiparticle alignment taken into account. Quasiparticle orbitals with high-j and low-Ω on the oblate side are shown to be responsible for the sharp backbending observed in 82Kr, by driving the yrast shape from prolate to oblate. This suggests that quasiparticle alignment may not be neglected in the investigation of the shape evolution along the yrast line.
