Söderström, H.-J. Wollersheim, R. Wyss et al.(author list to be completed) Mean field calculatations of quadrupole deformations (e.g. Möller et al.) predict a prolate-oblate shape transformation in neutron rich Mo isotopes. Good testing ground for nuclear models Experimental approach: B(E2) via gamma-particlecoincidences (+ RDDS)
