Tables of E2 Transition Probabilities from the first $2^{+}$ States in Even-Even Nuclei

Understand

Experimental results of E2 transition probabilities or B(E2) values for the known first 2$^{+}$ states in 447 even-even nuclei have been compiled and evaluated.

• The evaluation policies for the analysis of experimental data have been described and new results are discussed.
• The recommended B(E2) values have been compared with comprehensive shell model calculations for a selected set of nuclei, where such theoretical procedures are amenable.
• The present work was motivated by a rapid increase in the number of new B(E2) measurements for the first 2$^{+}$ states since the previous evaluation of such data by S.
