Determination of the electric quadrupole moment of /sup 7/Li by Coulomb scattering of an aligned /sup 7/Li ions

The electric quadrapole moment of /sup 7/Li was determined by Coulomb scattering of aligned /sup 7/Li ions to be Q-34=(+- 6) exmb. This compares favorably with the value Q-41=(+- 6) exmb determined by atomic-beam spectroscopy.
