Quadrupole moment of the first 2/sup +/ excited state in /sup 64/Zn

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The Coulomb excitation probability of the first 2/sup +/ state of /sup 64/Zn was measured observing the backscattered ions of /sup 4/He, /sup 16/O, and /sup 18/O. The static quadrupole moment Q/sub =/ and the reduced transition probability B(E2;O/sup +/..-->..2/sup +/) have been determined using the reorientation effect. It is found that Q/sub =/ = -0.32 +- 0.06 e b (-0.26 +- 0.06 e b) for constructive (destructive) interference involving the second 2/sup +/ state, and that B(E2;O/sup +/..-->..2/sup +/) = 0.168 +- 0.004e/sup 2/b/sup 2/, for both cases.
