Systematic measurements of the bohr-weisskpf effect at isolde
The hyperfine anomaly gives an insight into the coupling of spin and orbital magnetic moments in the nucleus. More precisely, the nuclear magnetization is expressible through the nuclear wave functions with which is tested not only the magnetic moment operator, but also the tensor product [s×C2]1. The experiment can then be expected to be of value in testing the nuclear structure theory. The greatest value of these measurements is gained when these are made systematically over a large number of isotopes. We propose to initiate a program at ISOLDE to measure the hyperfine anomaly systematically in the heavy alkali elements. The experimental setup to achieve, in particular, a precise measurem…
Large Odd-even Radius Staggering In The Very Light Platinum Isotopes From Laser Spectroscopy
Laser spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on very-neutron-deficient platinum isotopes with the COMPLIS experimental setup. Using the ${5d}^{9}{6s}^{3}{D}_{3}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{5d}^{9}{6p}^{3}{P}_{2}$ optical transition, hyperfine spectra of ${}^{182,181,180,179,178}\mathrm{Pt}$ and ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m}$ were recorded for the first time. The variation of the mean square charge radius between these nuclei, the magnetic moments of the odd isotopes, and the quadrupole moment of ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m}$ were thus measured. A large deformation change between ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{g}$ and ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m},$ an odd-even staggering of the charge radius, and a d…
How Lasers Can Help Probe the Distribution of Nuclear Magnetism
Publisher Summary High-resolution atomic spectroscopy has played an important part in the study of nuclear electric and magnetic structure. Laser spectroscopy has been crucial for the measurement of isotope shifts, which reflect the variations of nuclear charge radii and shapes. High sensitivity and frequency resolution have allowed experiments to be carried out systematically over extensive ranges of stable and radioactive isotopes with lifetime as short as a few milliseconds. While the laser experiments also yield results for nuclear multipole moments, no measurements are obtained of the distribution of nuclear magnetization. Nuclear structure properties can be probed by penetrating elect…
Charge radius changes of even-even neutron-rich Tellurium isotopes
Laser spectroscopy based on resonant ionization of laser-desorbed atoms has been used to study the neutron-rich tellurium isotopes with the COMPLIS facility at ISOLDE-CERN. The isotope shift and the hyperfine structure of several neutron-rich Te isotopes: $^{120–136}$Te and $^{123m–133m}$Te have been measured. From the hyperfine structure and the isotope shift we can extract the magnetic and quadrupole moments and the change in the mean square charge radius respectively. The mean square charge radii of the even-even isotopes have been deduced and their comparison with the known data for the other elements near Z=50 is presented. The experimental $\delta$ is compared with that obtained from …
Charge-radius change and nuclear moments in the heavy tin isotopes from laser spectroscopy: Charge radius ofSn132
Laser spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on the neutron-rich tin isotopes with the COMPLIS experimental setup. Using the $5{s}^{2}5{p}^{2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}3}{P}_{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5{s}^{2}5p6s\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{}^{3}{P}_{1}$ optical transition, hyperfine spectra of $^{126\ensuremath{-}132}\mathrm{Sn}$ and $^{125,127,129\ensuremath{-}131}\mathrm{Sn}{}^{m}$ were recorded for the first time. The nuclear moments and the mean square charge radius variation ($\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\langle}{r}_{c}^{2}\ensuremath{\rangle}$) were extracted. From the quadrupole moment values, these nuclei appear to be spherical. The magnetic moments measured are thus co…
First observation of the blue optical lines of francium
We report here the first wave-length measurements in the second resonance doublet of francium, D1'(7s2S1/2-8p2P 1/2) and D2'(7s2S1/2-8p2P 3/2), carried out by collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy. The transition wave numbers are D1' = 23112.9603(50) cm-1 and D2' = 23658.3058(40) cm-1, corresponding to a 8p fine-structure splitting of δW8p = 545.3454(70) cm-1. In addition the hyperfine structure in both lines and the isotope shift in the D2' line for the isotopes 212,213,220,221Fr have been measured. The results are discussed with special emphasis on the analysis of the atomic structure in the heaviest alkali element and compared with theoretical predictions, as well as the only earlier sp…
Nuclear Moments and Deformation Change inA184ug,mfrom Laser Spectroscopy
Resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) was performed on desorbed Au, and the complete hyperfine spectrum of both isomeric and ground states of the short lived 184Au nucleus has been recorded from the 5d106s S1y2 ! 5d106p P3y2 optical transition. The nuclear moments of both states and the mean square charge radius changes were measured. The magnetic moments were determined to be m 184g I5 12.07s2dmN and m I2 11.44s2dmN and the spectroscopic quadrupole moments to be Q 184g s 14.65s26db and Q184m s 11.90s16d b. A difference in the mean square charge radius dkr2 c l184g,184m 20.036s3d fm2 was found. [S0031-9007(97)03992-6]
Charge radius change in the heavy tin isotopes until A = 132 from laser spectroscopy
Laser spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on the very neutron-rich tin isotopes with the COMPLIS experimental setup. Using the 5s 25p 23P 0 → 5s 25p6s 3P 1 optical transition, hyperfine spectra of 126-132Sn and 125m, 127m, 129m-131mSn where recorded for the first time. The variation of the mean-square charge radius ( δ〈r 2〉) between these nuclei and nuclear moments of the isomers and the odd isotopes were thus measured. An odd-even staggering which inverts at A = 130 is clearly observed. This indicates a small appearance of a plateau on the δ〈r 2〉 which has to be confirmed by measuring the isotope shift beyond A = 132.
