Description

We present the observation of an isomeric decay in the very neutron deficient nucleus 3674Kr. The isomer is interpreted as an excited 0+ state, consistent with the long standing prediction of high deformation prolate/oblate shape coexistence in this nucleus. The magnitude of the E0 matrix element deduced for the 02+→01+ transition gives strong support to the prediction of a highly deformed oblate rotor. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
