Abstract

The static quadrupole moments Q_2⁺ and B(E2; 0⁺ → 2⁺) values of the 2⁺ first excited states of ²⁰⁰Hg and ²⁰²Hg have been determined using the reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation. An annular silicon surface-barrier detector was used to detect backscattered ⁴He, ¹²C and ¹⁶O projectiles. It is found that for ²⁰⁰Hg, Q_2⁺ = +1.07 ± 0.19 e · b(+0.98 ± 0.19 e · b) for destructive (constructive) interference from the 2^+′ state, and B(E2; 0⁺ → 2⁺) = 0.853 ± 0.007 e² · b². For ²⁰²Hg, we find Q_2⁺ = +1.01 ± 0.13 e · b (+0.87 ± 0.13 e · b) and B(E2; 0⁺ → 2⁺) = 0.605 ± 0.005 e² · b². The Q_2⁺ value obtained for ²⁰⁰Hg is in agreement with previous work, but that for ²⁰²Hg is not. The results obtained are compared with the predictions of various nuclear models, and the mass dependence of Q_2⁺ in the region 182 ≦ A ≦ 206 is examined.
