Conclusions:The spectroscopic quadrupole moments were found to be negative, large and constant in the ground state band underlining the prolate axially deformed ground state band of 124 Xe. The present experimental data confirm that the O(6) symmetry is substantially broken in 124 Xe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
