    Abstract

    Neutron-rich, Kr88-94 nuclei, populated in spontaneous fission of Cm-248, have been studied with EUROGAM 2, by measuring prompt gamma -rays. Many new excited states in even-even Kr isotopes have been identified. For the first time spins and parities were determined experimentally in these nuclei. Our results indicate that the quadrupole deformation of Kr isotopes will appear only above N = 58, as observed in Sr and Zr nuclei. The newly found 3(-) level at 1506.4 keV in Kr-90 suggests the exsistence of a new region of increased octupole correlations, probably associated with the v(d(5/2)h(11/2)) pair of Deltal = Deltaj = 3 orbitals.
