Abstract

NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Measurements of the probabilities for Coulomb excitation of the first [...] excited states in [...] and [...] [...] have been made with [...], [...] and [...] ions. The deviations observed in a comparison of the experimental data with the predictions of first order perturbation theory are interpreted in terms of the static electric quadrupole moments, [...], of the first [...] excited states of the nuclei. The deduced values of [...] are found to lie in the ranges [...] and [...] for [...] and [...] [...], respectively. The deduced values of [...] for [...] and [...] are found to be surprisingly large when compared with the predictions of the vibrational model.
