Abstract
We report B(E2;01+→2n+) strengths for the neutron-rich 88,90Kr and 86Se isotopes from intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation. The electric quadrupole transition strengths to the first 2+ states complete, with considerably improved uncertainties, the evolution of quadrupole collectivity in the Kr and Se isotopes approaching N=60, for which 90Kr and 86Se had previously been the most uncertain. We also report significant excitation strength to several higher-lying 2+ states in the krypton isotopes. This fragmentation of B(E2) strength in 88,90Kr confirms shell-model calculations in the π(fpg)-ν(sdgh) shell with an only minimally tuned shell-model setup that is based on a nucleon-nucleon interaction derived from effective field theory and effective charges adjusted to 86Kr.
