Coulomb excitation of neutron-rich Cd isotopes at REX-ISOLDE

We report on the “safe” Coulomb excitation of neutron‐rich Cd isotopes in the vicinity of the doubly magic nucleus 132Sn. The radioactive nuclei have been produced by ISOLDE at CERN and postaccelerated by the REX‐ISOLDE facility. The γ‐decay of excited states has been detected by the MINIBALL array. Preliminary results for the B(E2) values of 122,124Cd are consistent with expectations from phenomenological systematics.
