Relativistic Coulomb excitation in ³²Mg near 200 MeV/nucleon with a thick target

NUCLEAR REACTIONS Pb(³²Mg, ³²Mg'), E=195 MeV/nucleon, [³²Mg secondary beam from ⁹Be(⁴⁸Ca, X), E=345 MeV/nucleon primary reaction]; measured Eγ, Iγ, scattered ³²Mg spectra, (³²Mg)γ-coin, angular distributions, Coulomb excitation yield using BigRIPS and ZeroDegree spectrometers, and DALI2 array at RIBF-RIKEN facility, ³²Mg; deduced first 2+ level, B(E2). Comparison with coupled-channel calculation and with previous experimental values. Discussed usefulness of the Coulomb excitation method for extracting B(E2) values at high incident energies.
