Onset of collectivity in 96,98Sr studied via Coulomb excitation

2014 
A rapid onset of quadrupole deformation is known to occur around the neu- tron number 60 in the neutron-rich Zr and Sr isotopes. This shape change has made the neutron-rich A = 100 region an active area of experimental and theoretical stud- ies for many decades now. We report in this contribution new experimental results in the neutron rich 96,98 Sr investigated by safe Coulomb excitation of radioactive beams at the REX-ISOLDE facility, CERN. Reduced transition probabilities and spectroscopic quadrupole moments have been extracted from the differential Coulomb excitation cross section supporting the scenario of shape coexistence/change at N=60. Future perspectives are presented including the recent experimental campaign performed at ILL-Grenoble.
