Abstract

Electric quadrupole (E2) moments in light mirror nuclei are studied by shell model calculations with the proton-neutron formalism. Our calculations describe successfully theQ-moments of both loosely-bound andwell-bound nuclei when the effect of the separation energies is taken into consideration in the Woods-Saxon wave functions. The large enhancement of theQ-moments in8B and17F shows a clear evidence of the proton halos.
