Abstract
The use of a recently developed technique, involving the cooling and trapping of radioactive ions, that facilitates the optical study of refractory fission products is presented. As such, the first laser spectroscopic measurements on zirconium fission fragments from 96Zr to 102Zr are reported. Nuclear spins, I, magnetic moments, μ, spectroscopic quadrupole moments, Qs, and changes in nuclear mean-square charge radii, δ, are evaluated across the N=60 shape change.
