Abstract

The quadrupole and hexadecapole moments of ${}^{165}{Ho}$ were derived from the hfs of the $3 d$ muonic states. The resulting values are $Q_{0} = 7.44 \pm 0.07$ b and $Π_{0} = 0.52 \pm 0.10$ $b^{2}$ . The parameters of the nuclear charge distribution were determined. An indication for an angular variation of the skin thickness was found.
