B(E2)values and Phase Coexistence In152sm

The B(E2) values for several critical transitions in Sm-152 are determined following the epsilon decay of Eu-152. These data improve upon and correct previous studies and allow us to perform a full analysis of phase coexistence in Sm-152, to analyze the mixing found empirically, and to compare this with detailed model calculations.
