The rate of the T = 1, 2(+) to T = 1, 0(+) transition in B-10 (T = 1, T-z = 0) is compared to the analog transitions in Be-10 (T = 1, T-z = -1) and C-10 (T = 1, T-z = +1) to provide constraints on ab initio calculations using realistic nuclear forces. The relevant state in B-10, at E-x = 5.164 MeV, is particle unbound. Therefore, a determination of the B(E2) electromagnetic transition rate requires a precise and accurate determination of the width of the state, as well as the alpha-particle and gamma-ray branching ratios. Previous measurements of the a-particle branching ratio are just barely in agreement. We report on a new study of the alpha-particle branch by studying the B-10(p, p') B-10* reaction in inverse kinematics with the HELIOS spectrometer. The alpha-particle branching ratio that we observe, 0.144 +/- 0.027, is in good agreement with the evaluated value and improves the associated uncertainty. The resulting experimental B(E2) value is 7.0 +/- 2.2 e(2)fm(4) and is more consistent with a flat trend across the A = 10 triplet than previously reported. This is inconsistent with Green's functionMonte Carlo predictions using realistic three-nucleon Hamiltonians, which overpredict the B(E2) value in C-10 and B-10.
