Shape evolution in neutron rich nuclei
How to explain collective phenomena from individual motion?
What are the phases, relevant degrees of freedom, and symmetries of the nuclear many-body system?
Investigate the evolution of shapes and shape changes in nuclei
Neutron-rich medium heavy nuclei are predicted to exhibit dramatic shape effects

Most dramatic shape changes in heavy Zr nuclei
rapid deformation change from
≈ 0.1 to = 0.47

Proposed experiment
Goal: Identify low and medium spin yrast
and near-yrast states in 104-108Zr,
and in surrounding n-rich Sr and Mo isotopes,
and determine lifetimes
Technique: secondary fragmentation, relativistic DSAM
Beam: 238U at 750 AMeV, 4x109/spill → 110Mo at 150 AMeV, 7x102/spill
Set-up: AGATA ( detection) LYCCA (channel identification)
