Abstract
The Eurogam-2 array has been used to study $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays emitted following the spontaneous fission of a $^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$ source. Analysis of Doppler-broadened line shapes corresponding to decays from excited rotational states in neutron-rich Sr, Zr, and Mo fission fragments has enabled the first measurements of state lifetimes in these nuclei at around $I=10$. The results are consistent with a predicted rotation-induced change in the triaxiality of the yrast states of the Mo isotopes that contrasts with the more stable behavior observed in the Zr and Sr nuclei.
