E. Lubkiewicz et al., COULOMB-EXCITATION OF THE K-PI=16(-178() ROTATIONAL BAND IN HF), ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK A-HADRONS AND NUCLEI, 355(4), 1996, pp. 377-381
A heavy-ion multiple Coulomb excitation experiment on a very exotic ta
rget containing microweight quantities of Hf-178 in the K-pi = 16(+) i
someric state has been per formed at 4.77 MeV/u Pb-208 beam energy. Th
e first excited I-pi = 17(+) state has been observed at an excitation
energy of 357.4 +/- 0.3 keV with respect to the isomeric state. The in
trinsic electric quadrupole moment of Q(0) = 8.2 +/- 1.1 b has been de
rived from the experimental data within the rigid rotor model.
