Abstract

The B(E2;0+¿2+) values for the first 2+ excited states of neutron-rich 132,134,136Te have been measured using Coulomb excitation of radioactive ion beams. The B(E2) values obtained for 132,134Te are in excellent agreement with expectations based on the systematics of heavy stable Te isotopes, while that for 136Te is unexpectedly small. These results are discussed in terms of proton-neutron configuration mixing and shell-model calculations using realistic effective interactions.
