Description

A Coulomb excitation experiment was carried out with a 66Zn beam bombarding a natPb target. Four E2 matrix elements and the quadrupole moment of the 21+ state were derived with the least-squares search code GOSIA. According to the B(E2) values, the ground band can be interpreted as a quasirotational band. It was found that the 21+ level has a positive quadrupole moment, which may be interpreted as a soft triaxial deformation. (orig.)
