Background:The Xe isotopic chain with four valence protons above theshell closure is an ideal laboratory for the study of the evolution of nuclear deformation. At theshell closure,presents all characteristics of a doubly closed shell nucleus with a spherical shape. In the very neutron-deficient isotopes close to, the-decay chain of Xe was investigated to probe the radioactive decay properties near the drip-line and the magicity of. Additionally, the Xe isotopes present higher order symmetries in the nuclear deformation such as the octupole degree of freedom nearandor O(6) symmetry in stable isotopes.Purpose:The relevance of the O(6) symmetry has been investigated by measuring the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the first excited states in. In the O(6) symmetry limit, the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of collective states is expected to be null.Method:A stablebeam with energies ofMeV andMeV was used to bombard atarget at the GANIL facility. Excited states were populated via the safe Coulomb excitation reaction. The collision of the heavy ions with a largeat low energy make this reaction sensitive to the diagonalmatrix element of the excited states. The recoils were detected in themagnetic spectrometer and therays in the AGATA tracking array. The least squares fitting codegosiawas used for the analysis to extract bothandtransitional anddiagonal matrix elements.Results:The rotational ground state band was populated up to thestate as well as theandstates. Using high precision spectroscopic data to constrain thegosiafit, the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the,, andstates were determined for the first time.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. The present experimental data confirm that the O(6) symmetry is substantially broken in.
