Abstract
Delayed rays from neutron-rich fission fragments were measured using the Lohengrin spectrometer at the high-flux reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble. Several lifetimes of excited states in were measured using the fast-timing technique. The nucleus exhibits shape coexistence and is located exactly at the border of the spherical () and deformed () ground-state deformation. It is of particular interest to study the shape-coexisting structures at the spherical-deformed border (). The determined lifetimes within this work are compared to an interacting boson-fermion model calculation that is based on the microscopic energy density functional to provide a better understanding of the spherical-deformed border in strontium isotopes.
