Abstract

The reduced transition probability B(E2: 3/2− 7/2−2) has been measured in 43S using Coulomb excitation at intermediate energy. The nucleus of interest was produced by fragmentation of a 48Ca beam at GANIL. The reaction products were separated in the LISE spectrometer. After Coulomb-excitation of 43S in a 208Pb target, the γ rays emitted inflight were detected by 64 BaF2 detectors of the Chǎteau de Cristal array. The preliminary value deduced for the reduced transition probability B(E2: 3/2−7/2−2) is in agreement with the predictions of the shell model calculations and supports a prolate-spherical shape coexistence in the 43S nucleus.
