Abstract

Following Coulomb excitation of the radioactive ion beam (RIB) 132Te at HRIBF we report the first use of the recoil-in-vacuum (RIV) method to determine the g factor of the 21+ state: g(973.9 keV 2+ 132Te)=(+)0.35(5). The advantages offered by the RIV method in the context of RIBs and modern detector arrays are discussed.
