Experimental determination of the signs of E2 interference terms for /sup 192/Os and /sup 194/Pt

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The sign of P/sub 3/=M/sub 02/M/sub 22//sub prime/M/sub 02//sub prime/ (M/subr//subs/=-) has been determined by observing interference between one-step and two-step amplitudes for ..cap alpha..-particle excitation of the second 2/sup +/ states of /sup 194/Pt and /sup 192/Os. The sign of P/sub 3/ predicted by Kumar and Baranger is found to be correct for /sup 192/Os but incorrect for /sup 194/Pt. (AIP)
