Corrigendum: Electric Quadrupole Excitation of the First Excited State of 11B

Abstract

The correction to the value of B(E2; t - ~ t --) due to the effect of the ground-state quadrupole moment was applied with the wrong sign. Thus lines 6 and 7 of p. 507 should read ' ... and the ground-state quadrupole moment produces a decrease of 13%...' Consequently, the result of the experiment is B(E2; t - ~ t -) = 2·6±0·4 e2 fm" corresponding to 3·5 W.u. The conclusions of the paper are not affected.
