Quadrupole moment of the 8+ yrast state in Kr84

The quadrupole moment of the ${8}^{+}$ yrast state in $^{84}\mathrm{Kr}$ was measured using the level-mixing spectroscopy technique to be $Q=$ 36(4) $e$ fm${}^{2}$. The result is compared with predictions of the shell model using common sets of effective charges. The comparison of experimental quadrupole moments with calculated values for 8${}^{+}$ states in Kr, Sr and Zr isotopes with $N=$ 48, 50 and for $9/{2}^{+}$ states in isotopes with $N=$ 47, 49 suggests a modification of the effective charges used in this region.
