We have measured the electromagnetic matrix element B(E2;0g.s.+→21+) in the radioactive nucleus 26Si using the method of intermediate energy Coulomb excitation. Our result, B(E2;0g.s.+→21+)=336(33)e2fm4, resolves a conflict in previous measurements of this matrix element. In addition, the present measurement allows us to determine Mn/Mp for 26Mg using the mirror nucleus method. The mirror method result of Mn/Mp=1.05(6) is consistent with the most recent pion scattering results and is near the simple collective model expectation.
