Reorientation Measurement inMg24

Abstract

The reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation with ${\mathrm{S}}^{32}$ ions was used to deduce the static quadrupole moment of the first excited $J^{\pi }=2^{+}$ state in ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{24}$. The value obtained in this experiment is $Q_{2^{+}}=-0.26\mathrm{}\pm 0.08$ b.
