Gamma radiation from the N = Z nucleus /sub 40//sup 80/Zr/sub 40/

Description
The very neutron-deficient isotope /sup 80/Zr was produced in the reaction /sup 24/Mg(/sup 58/Ni, 2n)/sup 80/Zr at 190 MeV with a cross section of σ = 10 +- 5 μb and was identified with the Daresbury Recoil Separator. The observation reflects a fiftyfold increase in sensitivity for in-beam spectroscopy of exotic nuclei. Coincidence measurements between the isolated isotope and prompt gamma radiation allowed the identification of decays from low-lying states at E = 290 and 828 keV which indicate that /sup 80/Zr has an extremely large quadrupole deformation of β2≅0.4
