Abstract

Lifetimes in ¹⁸⁸Pb were measured using the Köln plunger in combination with the RITU separator and JUROGAM. Four lifetimes were measured, from which the deformation of the prolate band was experimentally determined for the first time. The squared prolate mixing amplitude of the 2₁ ⁺ state was deduced from the measured B(E2) values.
