description

Atomic masses of radioactive zirconium isotopes from {sup 96}Zr to {sup 104}Zr have been measured with a relative accuracy of {<=}5x10{sup -7} using a Penning trap coupled to the ion guide isotope separator on-line system. The obtained two-neutron separation energies show strong local correlation in relation to the shape change and shape coexistence between N=58 and 60.
