The extracted electromagnetic transition probabilities are compared with previous intermediate-energy Coulomb-excitation measurements and with large-scale shell-model calculations. The increase in the deduced B( E2; 2(+) -> 0(+)) transition probability from Ar-44 to the closed-shell nucleus Ar-46 contradicts the earlier results of Coulomb-excitation experiments. Shell-model calculations using different effective interactions agree with the new measured values.", optnote="ISI:000280759100002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=394), last updated on Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:33:42 +0000", issn="0556-2813", doi="10.1103/PhysRevC.82.024308", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.82.024308", language="English" }
