Coexistence in nuclei* describes the occurrence of energy eigenstates with different shapes (deformations) or different pairing distributions (“deformation” of the Fermi surface). The current experimental status of these issues will be reviewed. Ideas for future experimental needs will be indicated, together with some insights into the underlying structures that appear to be involved.
