description

Abstract Collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy, with improved sensitivity for ions with hyperfine split transitions, is performed to measure the hyperfine structure and the isotope shift of the well deformed short-lived 99Sr. The new method consists in ground state depopulation by a two-step optical pumping sequence prior to state selective neutralization and fast-atom counting. A definitive nuclear spin value I = 3 2 , the change in mean square charge radius δ〈r2〉98,99 and the nuclear moments are derived. These results are compared to nuclear spectroscopy information and are interpreted in the frame of the particle plus deformed core model.
