Nuclear Charge Radius ofBe12
2012
The nuclear charge radius of $^{12}\mathrm{Be}$ was precisely determined using the technique of collinear laser spectroscopy on the $2{s}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}2{p}_{1/2,3/2}$ transition in the ${\mathrm{Be}}^{+}$ ion. The mean square charge radius increases from $^{10}\mathrm{Be}$ to $^{12}\mathrm{Be}$ by $\ensuremath{\delta}⟨{r}_{c}^{2}{⟩}^{10,12}=0.69(5)\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fm}}^{2}$ compared to $\ensuremath{\delta}⟨{r}_{c}^{2}{⟩}^{10,11}=0.49(5)\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fm}}^{2}$ for the one-neutron halo isotope $^{11}\mathrm{Be}$. Calculations in the fermionic molecular dynamics approach show a strong sensitivity of the charge radius to the structure of $^{12}\mathrm{Be}$. Th…
Simple Nuclear Structure inCd111–129from Atomic Isomer Shifts
2016
Isomer shifts have been determined in ^{111-129}Cd by high-resolution laser spectroscopy at CERN-ISOLDE. The corresponding mean square charge-radii changes, from the 1/2^{+} and the 3/2^{+} ground states to the 11/2^{-} isomers, have been found to follow a distinct parabolic dependence as a function of the atomic mass number. Since the isomers have been previously associated with simplicity due to the linear mass dependence of their quadrupole moments, the regularity of the isomer shifts suggests a higher order of symmetry affecting the ground states in addition. A comprehensive description assuming nuclear deformation is found to accurately reproduce the radii differences in conjunction wi…
Isotope shift of40,42,44,48Ca in the 4s2S1/2→ 4p2P3/2transition
2015
We report on improved isotope shift measurements of the isotopes 40,42,44,48Ca in the 4s2S1/2→4p2P3/2 transition using collinear laser spectroscopy. Accurately known isotope shifts in the 4s2S1/2→4p2P1/2 (D1) transition were used to calibrate the ion beam energy with an uncertainty of ΔU ≈ ± 0.25 V. The accuracy in the D2 transition was improved by a factor of 5–10. A King-plot analysis of the two transitions revealed that the field shift factor in the D2 line is about 1.8(13)% larger than in the D1 transition which is ascribed to relativistic contributions of the 4p1/2 wave function.
Optical measurement of the longitudinal ion distribution of bunched ion beams in the ESR
2013
Abstract An optical technique to study the longitudinal distribution of ions in a bunched ion beam circulating in a storage ring is presented. It is based on the arrival-time analysis of photons emitted after collisional excitation of residual gas molecules. The beam-induced fluorescence was investigated in the ultraviolet regime with a channeltron and in the visible region using a photomultiplier tube. Both were applied to investigate the longitudinal shape of bunched and electron-cooled 209Bi80+ ion beams at about 400 MeV/u in the experimental storage ring (ESR) at GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany. Bunch lengths were determined with an uncertainty of abo…
Tests of atomic charge-exchange cells for collinear laser spectroscopy
2012
Abstract The performance characteristics of two charge-exchange cells (CECs) with horizontal and vertical cell configurations were determined by neutralizing a 10-keV rubidium ion beam in a potassium vapor. The neutralization efficiency and the fluorescence line shape of the 5s 2 S 1 / 2 ↔ 5 p 2P3/2 (D2) transition in neutral 85Rb were investigated as a function of the reservoir temperature used to control the potassium vapor density. The CECs exhibited similar neutralization performance and at neutralization efficiencies greater than 25–50% an asymmetric line shape of the rubidium D2 fluorescent signal was observed. The asymmetry was attributed to inelastic channels in the charge-exchange …

From Calcium to Cadmium: Testing the Pairing Functional through Charge Radii Measurements of Cd100−130
2018
Differences in mean-square nuclear charge radii of $^{100--130}\mathrm{Cd}$ are extracted from high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy of the $5s\text{ }{^{2}S}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5p\text{ }{^{2}P}_{3/2}$ transition of the ion and from the $5s5p\text{ }{^{3}P}_{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5s6s\text{ }{^{3}S}_{1}$ transition in atomic Cd. The radii show a smooth parabolic behavior on top of a linear trend and a regular odd-even staggering across the almost complete $sdgh$ shell. They serve as a first test for a recently established new Fayans functional and show a remarkably good agreement in the trend as well as in the total nuclear charge radius.
Observation of the hyperfine transition in lithium-like bismuthBi20980+: Towards a test of QED in strong magnetic fields
2014
We performed a laser spectroscopic determination of the $2s$ hyperfine splitting (HFS) of Li-like ${}^{209}{\text{Bi}}^{80+}$ and repeated the measurement of the $1s$ HFS of H-like ${}^{209}{\text{Bi}}^{82+}$. Both ion species were subsequently stored in the Experimental Storage Ring at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum f\"ur Schwerionenforschung Darmstadt and cooled with an electron cooler at a velocity of $\ensuremath{\approx}0.71\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}c$. Pulsed laser excitation of the $M1$ hyperfine transition was performed in anticollinear and collinear geometry for ${\text{Bi}}^{82+}$ and ${\text{Bi}}^{80+}$, respectively, and observed by fluorescence detection. We obtain $\ensuremath{\De…
Laser spectroscopy measurement of the 2s-hyperfine splitting in lithium-like bismuth
2017
We have recently reported on the first direct measurement of the $2s$ hyperfine transition in lithium-like bismuth (209Bi80+) at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. Combined with a new measurement of the $1s$ hyperfine splitting (HFS) in hydrogen-like (209Bi82+) the so-called specific difference ${\rm{\Delta }}^{\prime} E=-61.37(36)$ meV could be determined and was found to be in good agreement with its prediction from strong-field bound-state quantum electrodynamics. Here we report on additional investigations performed to estimate systematic uncertainties of these results and on details of the experimental setup. We show that the dominating uncertainty a…
First observation of the ground-state hyperfine transition in 209Bi80+
2013
The long sought after ground-state hyperfine transition in lithium-like bismuth 209Bi80+ was observed for the first time using laser spectroscopy on relativistic ions in the experimental storage ring at the GSI Helmholtz Centre in Darmstadt. Combined with the transition in the corresponding hydrogen-like ion 209Bi82+, it will allow extraction of the specific difference between the two transitions that is unaffected by the magnetic moment distribution in the nucleus and can therefore provide a better test of bound-state QED in extremely strong magnetic fields.
Precision Test of Many-Body QED in theBe+2pFine Structure Doublet Using Short-Lived Isotopes
2015
Absolute transition frequencies of the $2s\text{ }{^{2}S}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}2p\text{ }{^{2}P}_{1/2,3/2}$ transitions in ${\mathrm{Be}}^{+}$ were measured for the isotopes $^{7,9--12}\mathrm{Be}$. The fine structure splitting of the $2p$ state and its isotope dependence are extracted and compared to results of ab initio calculations using explicitly correlated basis functions, including relativistic and quantum electrodynamics effects at the order of $m{\ensuremath{\alpha}}^{6}$ and $m{\ensuremath{\alpha}}^{7} \mathrm{ln} \ensuremath{\alpha}$. Accuracy has been improved in both the theory and experiment by 2 orders of magnitude, and good agreement is observed. This represents on…
Unexpectedly large charge radii of neutron-rich calcium isotopes
2016
Despite being a complex many-body system, the atomic nucleus exhibits simple structures for certain "magic" numbers of protons and neutrons. The calcium chain in particular is both unique and puzzling: evidence of doubly-magic features are known in 40,48Ca, and recently suggested in two radioactive isotopes, 52,54Ca. Although many properties of experimentally known Ca isotopes have been successfully described by nuclear theory, it is still a challenge to predict their charge radii evolution. Here we present the first measurements of the charge radii of 49,51,52Ca, obtained from laser spectroscopy experiments at ISOLDE, CERN. The experimental results are complemented by state-of-the-art theo…
Spins and electromagnetic moments of Cd101–109
2018
The neutron-deficient cadmium isotopes have been measured by high-resolution laser spectroscopy at CERN-ISOLDE. The electromagnetic moments of $^{101}\mathrm{Cd}$ have been determined for the first time and the quadrupole-moment precision of $^{103}\mathrm{Cd}$ has been vastly improved. The results on the sequence of $5/{2}^{+}$ ground states in $^{101--109}\mathrm{Cd}$ are tentatively discussed in the context of simple structure in complex nuclei as similarities are found with the $11/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ states in the neutron-rich cases. Comparison with shell-model calculations reveals a prominent role of the two holes in the $Z=50$ core.
