Abstract

The reaction Pb208(Li6,αd) Pb208 was studied at ELi6=24 and 27 MeV by observing dα coincidences for particles emitted into the same solid angle. At ELi6=24 MeV the reaction proceeds predominantly by a sequential process of Coulomb excitation of the 2.184-MeV, Jπ=3+ state, followed by breakup into α and d. When the strong dipole polarization of the Li6 projectile is taken into account, a B(E2;1+3+)=24e2 fm4 is found, in good agreement with a recent (e,e) experiment.
