- Although neutron-rich Mo nuclei are known to exhibit triaxial behaviour, whether the shape is gamma rigid, gamma vibrational or gamma soft is not known in each case. This paper is significant because it indicates that Mo 106, 108 and 110 all exhibit gamma-vibrational motion about an axially deformed shape. There is no evidence of the transition to gamma-soft behaviour predicted for the heaviest isotope of the three. These results have steered the direction of research for STFC project ST/P003982/1 and STFC studentship 2138517, and underpinned a successful grant proposal (ST/V001078/1).
