Description

Coulomb excitation studies of the 2.615 MeV(3-) and 4.086 MeV (2+) states of 208Pb have been carried out using 12C and 16O projectiles at various energies and scattering angles. Results for the 3- state are: B(E3;0+→3-) = 0.611+-0.012e2b3; and the static quadrupole moment Qsub(3-) -0.34+-0.15eb, which is larger in magnitude than most theoretical calculations. Results for the 2+ state imply that Qsub(2+) -0.7+-0.3 eb if a value for B(E2;0+→2+) determined from electron scattering work is assumed
