Abstract: A multiple Coulomb excitation experiment on a 76 Ge beam was performed using a nat Pb target. The relative excitation probabilities were measured as a function of the projectile scattering-angle. 15 E 2 matrix elements, including diagonal ones, for seven low-lying states were determined using the least-squares search code GOSIA. The expectation values of centroid for the magnitude of the intrinsic frame E 2 properties ⟨ Q 2 ⟩ show that the ground state is weakly deformed, while the shape of the 0 2 + level is almost spherical. The 2 2 + state is found to be a band head of the γ vibrational band and the 4 2 + state is a member of this band.
