Static quadrupole moment of the first excited state of /sup 74/Se

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The static quadrupole moment of the first 2/sup +/ excited state of /sup 74/Se was measured by using the reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation. The measurements yielded for constructive interference via the second 2/sup +/ excited state Q/sub 2//sub +/ = - 0.36 +- 0.07 eb. This value gives a direct evidence of a prolate nuclear deformation for N = 40 in the even-A selenium isotopes.
