Revised B(E3) transition rate and structure of the 3 ^- level in ⁹⁶Zr

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ⁹⁶Zr; analyzed available data; deduced reduced value of B(E3) compared to the previous reports; calculated the collectivity of the octupole vibration arises from both proton and neutron excitations involving a large number of orbitals using the Monte Carlo shell-model.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²³⁸U(⁷⁶Ge, X), (⁶⁴Ni, X), (⁴⁸Ca, X), (²⁰⁸Pb, X)⁹⁶Zr, ²⁰⁸Pb, ¹⁹⁸Pt(⁷⁶Ge, X)⁹⁶Zr, E not given; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ; deduced γ-ray relative intensities, B(E3), branching ratios.
