Collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy of neutron-deficient francium isotopes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic moments and isotope shifts of the neutron-deficient francium isotopes (202-205)Fr were measured at ISOLDE-CERN with use of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy. A production-to-detection efficiency of 1% was measured for (202)Fr. The background from nonresonant and collisional ionization was maintained below one ion in 10(5) beam particles. Through a comparison of the measured charge radii with predictions from the spherical droplet model, it is concluded that the ground-state wave function remains spherical down to (205)Fr, with a departure observed in (203)Fr (N=116).

EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Addendum to the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Committee IS471: Collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy of rare francium isotopes
We propose to study the neutron-deficient (201−206Fr) and neutron-rich (218,219,229−232Fr) francium isotopes with high-resolution collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy. Extraction of the quadrupole moments will provide information on the nature of the deformation in the neutron-deficient nuclei and the octupole deformation suggested in the neutron-rich nuclei. The presence of the decay sp...
متن کاملCRIS: A new method in isomeric beam production
The Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at ISOLDE, CERN, uses laser radiation to stepwise excite and ionize an atomic beam for the purpose of ultra-sensitive detection of rare isotopes, and hyperfine-structure measurements. The technique also offers the ability to purify an ion beam that is heavily contaminated with radioactive isobars, including the ground state of an...

We have measured the hyperfine splitting of the 7P_{1/2} state at the 100 ppm level in Fr isotopes (^{206g,206m,207,209,213,221}Fr) near the closed neutron shell (N=126 in ^{213}Fr). The measurements in five isotopes and a nuclear isomeric state of francium, combined with previous determinations of the 7S_{1/2} splittings, reveal the spatial distribution of the nuclear magnetization, i.e., the ...
متن کاملLaser Spectroscopy and Mass Measurements on Alkali Isotopes
Isotope shifts, spins, hyperfine structures and masses have been measured for the series of the alkali isotopes including the nuclei far from stability. The method of laser spectroscopy and its combinations with rf excitation are described. Some results are discussed, namely the first observation of the red doublet D~-D2 of francium, and the study of shell effects and changes of shape with mass...
متن کاملMoments and mean square charge radii of short-lived argon isotopes
We report on the measurement of optical isotope shifts for 32-4°Ar and for 46Ar from which the changes in mean square nuclear charge radii across the N = 20 neutron shell closure are deduced. The investigations were carried out by collinear laser spectroscopy in fast beams of neutral argon atoms. The ultra-sensitive detection combines optical pumping, state-selective collisional ionization and ...
