Coulomb excitation measures octupole strength in Zr isotopes, suggesting enhanced collective behavior.
A Coulomb excitation experiment has been performed with the aim of populating the \(3^-_1\) state in \(⁹⁰Zr\) at 2748 keV excitation energy with 88 MeV \(³²S\) beam and particle–\(γ \) 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 \(⁹¹Zr\) has been populated by the \(⁸²Se(¹³C, 4n)\) reaction. Significantly high \(B\)(E3) strength has been determined by measuring the lifetime of this state through the electronic fast timing method.
