The neutron-deficient 196,198Pb isotopes have been studied in Coulombexcitation
experiments employing the Miniball γ-ray spectrometer and radioactive
ion beams from the REX-ISOLDE post-accelerator at CERN. The reduced transition probabilities of the first excited 2+ states in 196Pb and 198Pb nuclei have been measured
for the first time. Values of B(E2) = 18.2
+4.8
−4.1 W.u. and B(E2) = 13.1
+4.9
−3.5 W.u., were
obtained, respectively. The experiment sheds light on the development of collectivity
when moving from the regime governed by the generalized seniority scheme to a region,
where intruding structures, associated with different deformed shapes, start to come
down in energy and approach the spherical ground state.
