27 Summary * Coulomb excitation experiments at JAEA have been introduced. * Some of our studies were given: - Ge: Shape coexistence, and shape exchange between the 0 + states in the increase of neutron numbers are found. - Zn: The 0 2+ states are probably effected by the 1g 9/2 orbit Xe: Analysis is in progress. Some problems encountered in analysis were also shown. * One of our future plan with an RI beam facility was shown.
