Abstract
The static quadrupole moment of the first state in has been determined using the reorientation effect in the Coulomb excitation of projectiles. For constructive interference from the coupling through the second state, the values obtained are and . Our result for strongly disagrees with a recent measurement [] but is consistent with theoretical calculations [].
