The lowest excited K = 0 bands in U-238 have been studied by internal conve
rsion electron spectroscopy following Coulomb excitation with alpha particl
es at 19 MeV. Strong E0 enhancement was found for transitions between the 2
(+) members of the 0(2)(+), 0(3)(+) bands and of the ground state rotationa
l band, and EO strength values of 0.0099(18) and 0.175(26) were determined.
Based on our more accurate energy value of the 0(3)(+) state, 997.23(24) k
eV, the moments of inertia for the excited K=0 bands were studied.
