B(E2) Evaluation for 0+ to 2+ Transitions in Even-Even Nuclei

Understand

A collaborative study by Brookhaven-McMaster-Central Michigan is underway to evaluate B(E2)$\uparrow$ for 0$^{+}_{1}$ $\rightarrow$ 2$^{+}_{1}$ transitions.

• This work is a continuation of a previous USNDP evaluation and has been motivated by a large number of recent measurements and nuclear theory developments.
• It includes an extended compilation, data evaluation procedures and shell model calculations.
• The subset of B(E2)$\uparrow$ recommended values for nuclei of relevance to the double-beta decay problem is presented, and evaluation policies of experimental data and systematics are discussed.
