The first "safe" Coulomb excitation experiments with beam energies below the Coulomb barrier have been performed in 2003 and 2004 at the newly commissioned radioactive beam facility REX-ISOLDE at CERN in conjunction with the modern HPGe-spectrometer MINIBALL. From the Coulomb excitation experiments with beams of 30Mg and 32Mg, the reduced transition probabilities B(E2) from the 0+ ground states to the first excited 2+ states of these isotopes could be extracted in a model-independent way. While the B(E2) value of 30Mg is that expected for a pure sd-shell nucleus, the unusually large...
