Coulomb excitation and lifetime measurements of the 21+ states in 76, 82, 84Kr

A mean lifetime of τ = 35 ± 3 ps of the 2⁺₁ state in ⁷⁶Kr has been measured with the recoil distance method via the reaction ⁶³Cu(¹⁹F, α2n)⁷⁶Kr. The B(E2; 0⁺₁ → 2⁺₁) values and lifetimes of the 2⁺₁ states in ^{82, 84}Kr have been measured via Coulomb excitation using the 1.4 MeV/A UNILAC krypton beams. The intensities of the γ-rays from the Coulomb excited levels of ^{82, 84}Kr were interrelated with those of the target nuclei ²⁷Al, ^{64, 66}Zn and ^{70, 72, 74, 76}Ge and yielded the values $\text{B(}\text{E}\text{2; 0}{}^{\mathrm{+}}{}_1\text{→ 2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}{}_1\text{= 0.255±0.009}\text{and}\text{0.122 ± 0.005}\text{e}\text{2 ·}\text{b}\text{2}\text{for}{}^{\mathrm{82,\; 84}}\text{Kr}$, respectively. In turn, these B(E2) values and the (E2; 0⁺₁ → 2⁺₁ values of the even Ge and Zn isotopes from the literature were used in a Doppler-shift attenuation analysis to obtain experimentally lacking electronic stopping power for Kr ions slowing down in Al, Zn and Ge. for Ge ions in Ge and for Zn ions in Zn.
