Abstract
We identify the state of as the proton-neutron mixed-symmetry state of this nucleus. This identification is based on the measurement of the transition strengths and W.u. These transition strengths were obtained from the Coulomb excitation yield for the population of the state relative to the yield of the state with known excitation strength. The Coulomb excitation was done in inverse kinematics using the reaction at 280 MeV. This work demonstrates the accessibility of the isovector quadrupole excitation in the valence shell using experiments with an accelerated beam of the nuclei of interest.
