The ground state of 149La is 221(6) keV/c² lighter than previously reported, eliminating a prominence in two-neutron separation energies for La isotopes and revealing a kink structure like that in Ce isotopes, interpreted as a shape transition from octupole deformation around N=91.

New Ground State in ${}^{149}$La Removes Two-Neutron-Separation-Energy Anomaly in Lanthanum Isotopes
The ground state of 149La is 221(6) keV/c² lighter than previously reported, eliminating a prominence in two-neutron separation energies for La isotopes and revealing a kink structure like that in Ce isotopes, interpreted as a shape transition from octupole deformation around N=91.
