The electric quadrupole transition operator employed is:
The reduced electric quadrupole transition rates between [I.sub.i] [right arrow] [I.sub.f] states are given by:
For the 282 nm [[blank].sup.2][S.sub.1/2] [right arrow] [[blank].sup.2][D.sub.5/2]
electric quadrupole transition, [v.sub.0] [approximately equal to] [10.sup.15] Hz, so that using N = 1 and [T.sub.R] = 25 ms gives [[sigma].sub.y] ([tau]) [approximately equal to] [10.sup.-15] [[tau].sup.-1/2].
The quadrupole deformation parameter [[beta].sub.2] are derived from the
electric quadrupole transition probabilities B([E.sub.2]).
