Experimental study of the lifetime and phase transition in neutron-rich ^{98, 100, 102}Zr

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²³⁵U(n, F), ²⁴¹Pu(n, F), E=cold neutrons beam from PF1B, Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble; measured Eγ, γγ-coin, half-lives of the first 2+, 4+ and 6+ levels by fast-timing technique using the EXILL-FATIMA array consisting of eight EXOGAM clovers and 16 LaBr₃(Ce) scintillators; fast-timing coincidence events analyzed using method of mirror symmetric centroid difference (MSCD) and generalized centroid difference method (GCDM). ^98,100,102Zr; deduced levels, B(E2). Comparison with Interacting Boson model and Monte-Carlo shell-model calculations, and with previous experimental results. Systematics of B(E2) values for the first 2+, 4+ and 6+ states in ^{96,98,100,102,104,106}Zr.
