A Coulomb excitation experiment has been performed with the aim of populating the \ (3^-₁\) state in \ (^90 Zr\) at 2748 keV excitation energy with 88 MeV \ (^32 S\) beam and particle–\ (\) coincidence mode. A preliminary analysis has been performed to determine the electromagnetic matrix element. In a separate measurement, the octupole collective \ (11/2^-₁\) state in \ (^91 Zr\) has been populated by the \ (^82 Se (^13 C, 4n) \) reaction. Significantly high \ (B\) (E3) strength has been determined by measuring the lifetime of this state through the electronic fast timing method.
