description

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 electrons. This chapter describes an experiment in which the distribution of nuclear magnetism was probed with the help of lasers.
