“…In the Kr isotopic chain, just four and two protons below Zr and Sr, respectively, a rather gradual onset of collectivity towards N = 60 was concluded from mass measurements [6], Coulomb excitation [7], and fast-timing measurements [8], placing the N = 60 isotone 96 Kr at the low-Z boundary of the region of deformation described above [9]. Present information on the Se and Kr chain is limited to excitation energies out to 94 Se [10], the B(E2 ↑) strength of 86,88 Kr and 86 Se from Coulomb excitation [11], and lifetimes of excited states measured for 84,86 Se [12]. The present work extends the investigation of the quadrupole properties of nuclei in this mass region towards the doubly magic Z = 28, N = 50 shell closures.…”
