Optical polarization of neutron-rich sodium isotopes and β-NMR measurements of quadrupole moments
The nuclear quadrupole moments of neutron-rich sodium isotopes are being investigated with the help of in-beam polarization by optical pumping in combination with $\beta$-NMR techniques. First measurements have yielded the quadrupole splittings of NMR signals in the lattice of LiNbO$_{3}$ for the isotopes $^{26}$Na, $^{27}$Na and $^{28}$Na. Interaction constants and ratios of the electric quadrupole moments are derived. In view of future experiments, $\beta$-decay asymmetries for the sequence of isotopes up to the $N$=20 neutron shell closure, $^{26-31}$Na, have been measured.
On the odd-even staggering of mean-square charge radii in the light krypton and strontium region
Recently isotope shifts of $^{72,74-96}$Kr and $^{77-100}$Sr have been measured at the ISOLDE/ CERN mass separator facility by collinear laser spectroscopy. The deduced changes in mean square charge radii reveal sharp transitions in nuclear shape from spherical near the magic neutron number N=50 towards strongly deformed for both the neutron deficient and neutron rich isotopes far from stability. The mean square charge radii of the neutron deficient isotopes exhibit a sign change of the odd-even staggering (OES), i.e. below the neutron number N=46 the radius is systematically larger for the odd-N nuclei than for their even-N neighbours. This is in contrast to the situation of normal OES whi…
Laser spectroscopy investigation of the nuclear moments and radii of lutetium isotopes
Collinear laser spectroscopy experiments in the LuI transition $5d6s\!^{2} \; ^{2}\!D_{3/2} \rightarrow 5d6s6p \; ^{2}\!D_{3/2}$ were performed on all lutetium isotopes in the range of $^{161-179}$Lu. The nuclear spins, magnetic moments and quadrupole moments were determined from the hyperfine structures observed for 19 ground states and 11 isomers. Variations in the mean square charge radii as a function of neutron number were obtained from the isotope shifts. These data considerably extend the systematics of the properties of nuclei in the upper rare-earth region. A particular feature is the appearance of high-spin and low-spin ground states and isomeric states in the vicinity of the stab…
Chirurgie der kindlichen Nebenniere. Operationstaktik, intra- und perioperative Überwachung
Surgical and non-surgical conditions of the adrenal cortex and medulla are presented. Besides general principles of operative treatment (e.g. surgical approach, safe operative technique, bilateral exploration) specific aspects associated with this procedure in childhood are discussed. The perioperative management and pharmacotherapeutical preparation (e.g. hormonal substitution) are emphasized.
The electronic field shift factor of the 4s2S1/2?4p2PJ transitions in CaII
The isotope shifts (IS) of the resonance lines 4s2S1/2−4p2PJin CaII (seven isotopes) have been measured by fast ion beam collinear laser spectroscopy (FIBCLS) with non-optical detection of the resonant laser-ion interaction. The electronic field shift factorF was derived from the experimental IS via a King plot procedure using the mean square nuclear charge radii from muon spectroscopy andelectron scattering. TheJ-independent resultF=−283(6) Mhz/fm2 was obtained. TheF-value resulting from extensive many body perturbation theory (MBPT) calculations, recently performed by Martensson-Pendrill et al., is in excellent agreement with the experimental value, confirming the reliability of the MBPT …
Laser-spectroscopy measurements of 72–96Kr spins, moments and charge radii
Abstract The spins, moments and radii of krypton isotopes have been investigated by collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy in combination with ultra-sensitive collisional ionization detection. The sequence of isotopes under study ranges from the neutron-deficient N = Z = 36 isotope 72 Kr to the neutron-rich 96 Kr ( N = 60). The mean-square charge radii in the neighbourhood of the N = 50 neutron-shell closure exhibit a pronounced shell effect which has recently been explained in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The results for the neutron-deficient nuclei are related to the shape coexistence of strongly prolate and near-spherical states which is known from nuclear spectroscop…
The quadrupole moment of the neutron-halo nucleus 11Li
The quadrupole moment ratio of 9Li and 11Li was measured by a combination of in-beam laser induced nuclear polarization and β-NMR in LiNbO3. The result |Q(11Li)/Q(9Li)| = 1.14(16) is consistent with cluster models describing 11Li as composed of a 9Li core and a far extended halo of two loosely bound neutrons.
Very high sensitivity in collinear laser spectroscopy: resonance detection by particle counting techniques
Abstract Fast-beam collinear laser spectroscopy with resonance detection by counting of fluorescence photons provides a versatile tool for precise determinations of nuclear ground-state properties. The intrinsic high sensitivity of this method can be further increased by almost three orders of magnitude if measuring schemes based on ion or atom counting are introduced. The optical pumping from one atomic state to another at an appreciably different excitation energy is detected via state-selective collisional charge exchange processes and charge-state separated atom or ion counting. Applications of these techniques on alkaline earth, noble gas, mercury and thallium beams is examined.
