Abstract: (Elsevier)
Adopted values for the excitation energy, E x (3 1 − ), of the first 3 − state of even-even nuclides are tabulated. Values of the reduced electric-octupole transition probability, B ( E 3;0 1 + → 3 1 − ), from the ground state to this state, as determined from Coulomb excitation, lifetime measurements, inelastic electron scattering, deformation parameters β 3 obtained from angular distributions of inelastically scattered nucleons and light ions, and other miscellaneous procedures are listed in separate tables. Adopted values for B ( E 3;0 1 + → 3 1 − ) are presented in the final table, together with the E 3 transition strengths, in Weisskopf units, and the product E x (3 1 − ) × B ( E 3;0 1 + → 3 1 − ), expressed as a percentage of the energy-weighted E 3 sum-rule strength. An evaluation is made of the reliability of B ( E 3;0 1 + → 3 1 − ) values deduced from deformation parameters β 3 . The literature has been covered to March 1988.
