Remeasuring the anomalously enhanced B(E2;2⁺ → 1⁺) in ⁸Li

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁹⁷Au(⁸Li, ⁸Li), E=22.7 MeV; measured reaction products, charged particles, Eγ, Iγ, (particle)γ-coin. ⁸Li; deduced B(E2) for transition between excited state 1⁺ and ground state 2⁺ in Coulomb excitation experiment. Systematics of experimental ground state E2 moments and transition strengths to the first excited rotational band member for ⁷Li, ⁸Li, ⁷Be, ⁹Be, ⁸B. 10 cylindrical LaBr₃ detectors from the HAGRiD array combined with thick S7 annular Si detector. Secondary beam produced from ⁹Be(⁷Li, X), E=26 MeV and purified with TwinSol superconducting solenoid magnets at 10 MV Tandem Van De Graaff (University of Notre Dame Nuclear Science Laboratory).
