Description

Two 0+ states at 1294.5 and 1774.0 keV, together with three 2+ and one 4+ levels, were identified or unambiguously spin-parity assigned for the first time in Zr100 utilizing γ-ray spectroscopy and γγ angular correlation techniques with the Gammasphere spectrometer, following the β decay of neutron-rich, mass-separated Y100,100m isotopes. Comparisons with recent Monte Carlo shell-model calculations indicate that these two states are candidates for the bandhead of a sequence in a shape-coexisting spherical minimum predicted to be located around 1500 keV. According to the measured relative B(E2)relative transition probabilities, the 05+ state exhibits decay properties which more closely align with those predicted for a spherical shape, while the 04+ level is suggested to be associated with a weakly deformed shape similar to one related to the 02+ state.
