NUCLEAR INTRINSIC QUADRUPOLE MOMENTS AND DEFORMATION PARAMETERS

Presented here are averaged values for the intrinsic quadrupole moment, Q0′and different deformation parameters, βq, β, ɛ, δ, ηκ, and δ′, of deformed nuclei in the rare-earth region, 150 < ≈ A< ≈ 190, and in the actinide region, A> ≈ 220. The arrangement is by Zand A. These values are calculated from: Electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction of nuclei in atoms and molecules,Mu-mesonic x-ray measurements,Electric giant-dipole resonance measurements,Experimental B(E2)-values between rotational states and the ground state of nuclei (obtained from Coulomb excitation and half-life measurements), andReorientation effect in Coulomb excitation.
