Recommended deformation parameters (beta-2 and beta-3) for 1643
collective levels.  The dynamical deformation parameters given for the
vibrational nuclei and some vibrational band-heads in rotational
nuclei assume vibrational states to be of a one-phonon type. For the
rotational nuclei the ground-state static deformation parameters are
given. The fictitious levels, used in the JENDL-3.2 evaluations, are
also included.

beta-2 and beta-3 have been retrieved from the JENDL-3.2 evaluations,
ENSDF and the literature[1-3]. In the case of ENSDF the quantities
such as a quadrupole moment (Q), B(E2) and B(E3) were retrieved and
converted into the deformation parameters beta-2 and beta-3 using the
following equations:

     Q  = Q0*(3*K**2-1)(I+1)/{(I+1)(2*I+3)}                                (1)

     Q0 = {3/SQRT(5*pi)}*Z*(R0**2)*beta*(1+0.16*beta+...)                  (2)

     B(E2) = {3*(R0**2)*Z*beta2/(4*pi)}**2    in units of (e**2)*(b**2)    (3)

     B(E3) = {3*(R0**3)*Z*beta3/(4*pi)}**2    in units of (e**2)*(b**3)    (4)

where K and I are assumed equal to the ground state and excited state
spins, Z and A are atomic and mass numbers, and R0=0.12*{A**(1/3)} [in
units of barn**0.5].

Eqs.3 and 4 were also used to convert the data compiled in the
Refs. 1-3.
