Abstract

Based on results from a measurement of weak decay branches observed following the ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay of $^{94}\mathrm{Y}$ and on lifetime data from a study of $^{94}\mathrm{Zr}$ by inelastic neutron scattering, collective structure is deduced in the closed-subshell nucleus $^{94}\mathrm{Zr}$. These results establish shape coexistence in $^{94}\mathrm{Zr}$. The role of subshells for nuclear collectivity is suggested to be important.
