Abstract
We present the observation of an isomeric decay in the very neutron deficient nucleus The isomer is interpreted as an excited 0 state, consistent with the long standing prediction of high deformation prolate/oblate shape coexistence in this nucleus. The magnitude of the matrix element deduced for the transition gives strong support to the prediction of a highly deformed oblate rotor.
