The Accelerator Laboratory in the Department of Physics of the University of Jyväskylä (JYFL), Finland, provides users with a wide range of ion beams from protons to isotopes of Xe with intensities of up to 100 particle nA. Majority of the beam time is allocated to the studies of properties of atomic nuclei. The Nuclear Spectroscopy Group utilises in-beam gamma-ray and electron as well as decay-spectroscopic methods to shed more light on the microscopic structure of the nucleus through the studies of exotic nuclei. In this presentation, the accelerator facility and nuclear spectroscopy program will be briefly described, with a more detailed discussion on the shape coexistence in neutron-deficient Pb region studied employing complementary techniques both at JYFL and ISOLDE, CERN.
