Nuclear spins, moments, and changes of the mean square charge radii of sup.(140-153)Eu
1985
The hyperfine structures and isotope shifts of 14 isotopes of Eu (Z=63) in the mass range 140≦A≦153, partly with isomeric states, have been measured in the atomic transitions at 4,594 A and 4,627 A, using the technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The nuclear spins, the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and the changes in the mean square charge radii have been evaluated. These nuclear parameters clearly reflect the effects of theN=82 neutron-shell closure in the single-proton hole states with respect to the semi-magic gadolinium (Z=64), and theN=88−90 shape transition.
Nuclear Radiation Detected Optical Pumping of neutron-deficient Hg isotopes
1976
The extension of the Nuclear Radiation Detected Optical Pumping method to mass-separated samples of isotopes far off stability is presented for a series of light Hg isotopes produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The isotope under investigation is transferred by an automatic transfer system into the optical pumping apparatus. Zeeman scanning of an isotopically pure Hg spectral lamp is used to reach energetic coincidence with the hyperfine structure components of the 6s 2 1 S 06s6p 3P1,λ=2,537 A resonance line of the investigated isotope and the Hg lamp. The orientation built up by optical pumping is monitored via the asymmetry or anisotropy of the nuclear radiation. Nuclear spins, magneti…
Collinear laser spectroscopy of radioisotopes of zirconium
2003
Isotope shifts and hyperfine structures have been measured for radioisotopes of ionic zirconium using on-line laser spectroscopy at the IGISOL facility in Jyvaskyla, where the installation of an ion beam cooler/buncher has significantly improved the experimental sensitivity. Measurements have been made on all the neutron-deficient isotopes from 87Zr to 90Zr, including the isomers 87m,89mZr, and the neutron-rich isotopes from 96Zr to 102Zr. The change in mean square charge radii between the isotopes and the nuclear moments of the odd isotopes have been extracted. The data show a sudden increase in the mean square charge radius at mass A = 100, consistent with an onset of nuclear deformation …
High resolution spectroscopy of rydberg states in indium I
1985
Two-photon laser spectroscopy in a dense indium vapour allowed to investigatenp2P1/2, 3/2 states (n=27–35) for113, 115In with a thermionic diode. Precise data on the fine structure splitting of these states and the isotope shift of the two photon transitions have been obtained. The fine structure splitting shows a hydrogenic behaviour. By using the result of our isotope shift measurement in combination with literature values, level isotope shifts with reference to the ionization limit are deduced and analysed with respect to the different contributions.
Nuclear charge radii and electromagnetic moments of radioactive scandium isotopes and isomers
2011
International audience; Collinear laser spectroscopy experiments with the Sc + transition 3d4s 3 D 2 → 3d4p 3 F 3 at λ = 363.1 nm were performed on the 42−46 Sc isotopic chain using an ion guide isotope separator with a cooler-buncher. Nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments as well as isotope shifts were determined from the hyperfine structure for five ground states and two isomers. Extensive multi-configurational Dirac-Fock calculations were performed in order to evaluate the specific mass-shift, M SMS, and field-shift, F, parameters which allowed evaluation of the charge radii trend of the Sc isotopic sequence. The charge radii obtained show systematics more like the Ti r…
Magnetic and quadrupole moments of neutron deficient 58-62Cu isotopes
2011
Abstract This paper reports on the ground state nuclear moments measured in 58–62Cu using collinear laser spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility. The quadrupole moments for 58–60Cu have been measured for the first time as Q ( Cu 58 ) = − 15 ( 3 ) efm 2 , Q ( Cu 59 ) = − 19.3 ( 19 ) efm 2 , Q ( Cu 60 ) = + 11.6 ( 12 ) efm 2 and with higher precision for 61,62Cu as Q ( Cu 61 ) = − 21.1 ( 10 ) efm 2 , Q ( Cu 62 ) = − 2.2 ( 4 ) efm 2 . The magnetic moments of 58,59Cu are measured with a higher precision as μ ( Cu 58 ) = + 0.570 ( 2 ) μ N and μ ( Cu 59 ) = + 1.8910 ( 9 ) μ N . The experimental nuclear moments are compared to large-scale shell-model calculations with the GXPF1 and GXPF1A effective i…
Spin and magnetic moment of25Na by ?-radiation detected optical pumping
1975
25Na (T1/2 = 60 sec) has been produced in a22Ne target by the (α,p) reaction and polarized by means of spin-exchange scattering with optically pumped87Rb. The asymmetry in the β decay of polarized nuclei served to detect rf transitions between hfs Zeeman levels of the atomic ground state, yielding spinI = 5/2 and hyperfine splitting ΔW= 2648.5(3.0) MHz, from which the magnetic moment μI = 3.683(4)nm (corrected for diamagnetism) was deduced.
Hyperfine structure studies in the 6s 6p3P2-level of barium
1991
The hfs of the3P2 state of the 6s 6p configuration of atomic barium has been determined for137Ba, applying the collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy. The data fill the last gap in the experimental information on low lying 6s2, 6s 6p, 6s 5d and 6p 5d configurations of this alcaline earth system. The results are analyzed in terms for the existing semi-empirical modified Breit-Wills theory (MBWT), working with two basic wave functions, as well as by an extension to six-component wave functions of inclusion of configuration interaction. The semi-empirical approaches lead to a consistent description of the different hyperfine structures; they are compared with the results from recent ab initio …
Lasers in Nuclear Physics
1988
The application of lasers in fundamental nuclear research has been devoted predominantly to the investigation of nuclear structure of unstable isotopes through the measurement of isotope shift and hyperfine splitting of the atomic spectrum of the nuclei in question. From the isotope shift one deduces the change of nuclear charge distribution — or more precisely the change of the mean-squared nuclear charge radius δ -, whereas the hyperfine structure yields the spin (I), the magnetic moment (μI) and the electric quadrupole moment (Qs) of the nucleus. These four nuclear properties form the cornerstones for any quantitative theory of nuclear structure. In this respect, systematic measurements,…
Nuclear transition rates in μ-catalyzedp-dfusion
1991
Nuclear transition rates in \ensuremath{\mu}-catalyzed p-d fusion have been calculated using numerically converged $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ bound-state and p-d scattering wave functions for the first time. The transition rates for M1 radiative capture in both quartet and doublet initial states have been computed using a model of meson-exchange currents which reproduces the thermal n-d capture cross section, and are in excellent agreement with experiment. The muon internal-conversion rate is in very good agreement with a recent reanalysis of old bubble-chamber measurements. Furthermore, our nonvanishing quartet capture rate resolves the anomaly in the Wolfenstein-Gerstein effect.
