Recent theoretical work emphasizes the contribution of the tensor interaction between nucleons to the structural evolution in nuclei [1]. The Zr isotopic chain was suggested as example of the predicted shape phase transition. Our previous experimental results [2] established the nucleus Zr-98 as closest to the critical point in this uniquely-abrupt structural change. The presented follow-up RDDS level lifetime measurement on Zr-98 significantly improves on the accuracy of the previous results and agrees with other recent result [3]. It allows further interpretation in the frame of type-II shell evolution and corresponding state-of-the art shell-model calculations.
