description

Energies of muonic x rays of the Lyman series of the even sulphur isotopes /sup 32/S, /sup 34/S, and /sup 36/S and of natural phosphorus have been determined with absolute precisions up to 23 parts/10/sup 6/. Equivalent Barrett charge radii R/sub k/,..cap alpha.. have been deduced. Their differences between the sulphur isotopes amount to ..delta..R/sub k/,..cap alpha..( /sup 34/S- /sup 32/ S) = 29.7(1.4) am and ..delta..R/sub k/,..cap alpha..( /sup 36/S- /sup 34/ S) = 18.7(1.5) am. Combining these results with recent elastic electron scattering data, we obtain in a model-independent way ..delta../sup 1/2/( /sup 34/S- /sup 3/ 2S) = 23.1(1.2) am and ..delta../sup 1/2/( /sup 36/S- /sup 3/ 4S) = 13.0(1.2) am.
