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…
Shape ofAr44: Onset of deformation in neutron-rich nuclei nearCa48
The development of deformation and shape coexistence in the vicinity of doubly magic $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$, related to the weakening of the $N=28$ shell closure, was addressed in a low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment using a radioactive $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ beam from the SPIRAL facility at GANIL. The ${2}_{1}^{+}$ and ${2}_{2}^{+}$ states in $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ were excited on $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ and $^{109}\mathrm{Ag}$ targets at two different beam energies. $B(E2)$ values between all observed states and the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the ${2}_{1}^{+}$ state were extracted from the differential Coulomb excitation cross sections, indicating a prolate shape of the $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ n…
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.
