Abstract

The

B (E 3; 0^{+} \to 3^{-})

and quadrupole moment,

Q_{3^{-}}

, of the first excited state of

{}^{208}{Pb}

have been measured by the reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation, giving

B (E 3; 0^{+} \to 3^{-}) = 0.665 \pm 0.035 e^{2}

b^{3}

and

Q_{3^{-}} = - 0.42 \pm 0.32 e b

. This value for

Q_{3^{-}}

is much smaller in magnitude than those obtained by Barnett et al., and is consistent with most theoretical predictions.
