Measurement of the Spin and Magnetic Moment ofMg31: Evidence for a Strongly Deformed Intruder Ground State
Unambiguous values of the spin and magnetic moment of $^{31}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}$ are obtained by combining the results of a hyperfine-structure measurement and a $\ensuremath{\beta}$-NMR measurement, both performed with an optically polarized ion beam. With a measured nuclear $g$ factor and spin $I=1/2$, the magnetic moment $\ensuremath{\mu}(^{31}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g})=\ensuremath{-}0.88355(15){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{N}$ is deduced. A revised level scheme of $^{31}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}$ ($Z=12$, $N=19$) with ground state spin/parity ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=1/{2}^{+}$ is presented, revealing the coexistence of 1p-1h and 2p-2h intruder states below 500 keV. Advanced shell-model calculations and th…
Precision Measurement ofLi11Moments: Influence of Halo Neutrons on theLi9Core
The electric quadrupole moment and the magnetic moment of the 11Li halo nucleus have been measured with more than an order of magnitude higher precision than before, |Q| = 33.3(5) mb and mu = +3.6712(3)muN, revealing a 8.8(1.5)% increase of the quadrupole moment relative to that of 9Li. This result is compared to various models that aim at describing the halo properties. In the shell model an increased quadrupole moment points to a significant occupation of the 1d orbits, whereas in a simple halo picture this can be explained by relating the quadrupole moments of the proton distribution to the charge radii. Advanced models so far fail to reproduce simultaneously the trends observed in the r…
Nuclear ground-state spins and magnetic moments ofMg27,Mg29, andMg31
The ground-state spins and magnetic moments of neutron-rich {sup 27}Mg, {sup 29}Mg, and {sup 31}Mg were measured for the first time with laser and {beta}-NMR spectroscopy at ISOLDE/CERN. The hyperfine structure of {sup 27}Mg--observed in fluorescence--confirms previous assignments of the spin I=1/2 and reveals the magnetic moment {mu}{sub I}({sup 27}Mg)=-0.4107(15){mu}{sub N}. The hyperfine structure and nuclear magnetic resonance of optically polarized {sup 29}Mg--observed in the asymmetry of its {beta} decay after implantation in a cubic crystal--give I=3/2 and {mu}{sub I}({sup 29}Mg)=+0.9780(6){mu}{sub N}. For {sup 31}Mg they yield together I=1/2 and {mu}{sub I}({sup 31}Mg)=-0.88355(15){…
g factors of $^{31,32,33}$Al: Indication for intruder configurations in the $^{33}$Al ground state
Abstract The g factors of 31,32,33 Al have been measured using the β -nuclear magnetic resonance ( β -NMR) technique on spin-polarized beams produced in the fragmentation of a 36 S (77.5 MeV/u) beam on a 9 Be target. Nearly pure beams of Al ( Z = 13 ) isotopes were selected with the high-resolution fragment separator LISE at GANIL. An asymmetry as high as 6% has been observed in the β -NMR curve for 32 Al implanted in a Si single crystal. The magnetic moment of the N = 20 nucleus 33 Al is obtained for the first time: μ ( Al 33 , I π = 5 / 2 + ) = 4.088 ( 5 ) μ N , while those of 31,32 Al are obtained with improved accuracy: μ ( Al 31 , I π = 5 / 2 + ) = 3.830 ( 5 ) μ N and μ ( Al 32 , I π =…
