A set of internal K-conversion coefficients and monopole transition strengths was measured. A large & rho;2(E0; 2+2-+ 2+1 ) & BULL; 103 = 210(130) value was deduced. This result, in addition to a low upper limit for the 0+3-+ 0+2 electron transition, casts in doubt a simple interpretation of the 74Se low-lying structure, in particular the recently proposed spherical, vibrational character. New microscopic beyond-mean-field calculations generally agree with the experimental results and are capable of producing a large & rho;2(E0; 2+2-+ 2+1 ) value, even if still a factor & AP;7 smaller than the experiment. Triaxiality and a complex shape-coexistence and mixing scenario seem responsible for this unexpected experimental result.& COPY; 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
