Abstract
The static quadrupole moment for the 1.982-MeV state in has been remeasured via Coulomb excitation. Anomalously large values previously published are shown to be erroneous as a result of Coulomb-nuclear interference and other problems eliminated by the present techniques. Both present and previous data are consistent with values of - (- ) for constructive (destructive) interference. This result agrees with shell-model and coexistence-model predictions.
