Electric quadrupole moments of the first excited state of 192Os

Abstract Coulomb excitation by 4 He and 12 C projectiles has been used to determine electric quadrupole moments of the first excited state of 192 Os. It is found that B (E2; 0 + 1 → 2 + 1 ) = 2.030 (13) e 2 b 2 , in excellent agreement with previous work. The static moment Q (2 + 1 ) is found to have the value −0.86 (20) e · b , in good agreement with the result of a muonic X-ray experiment.
