Precision measurement of the hyperfine structure of laser-cooled radioactive 7Be+ ions produced by projectile fragmentation.

چکیده
The ground state hyperfine splitting of (7)Be+ has been measured by laser-microwave double-resonance spectroscopy in the online rf trap of RIKEN's slow RI-beam facility. Be ions produced by projectile fragmentation of 13C at approximately 1 GeV were thermalized in a rf ion guide gas cell and subsequently laser cooled in the ion trap to approximately 1 microeV. This 10(15)-fold reduction of the kinetic energy allows precision spectroscopy of these ions. A magnetic hfs constant of A=-742.772 28(43) MHz was measured for 7Be+, from which a nuclear magnetic moment of mu(I)=-1.399 28(2)mu(N) was deduced.

Precision hyperfine structure spectroscopy of Be isotopes at SLOWRI prototype and prospects of SLOWRI at RIKEN
Precision atomic spectroscopy experiments for Be isotopes have been carried out at the prototype universal slow RI-beam (SLOWRI) setup at RIKEN. Radioactive Be ions produced at 1 GeV were decelerated and thermlized in an RF-carpet ion guide. The thermalized ions were transferred to an ion trap where laser cooling was used to reduce the ion energy to the order of 1 μeV. Laser microwave double re...

The hyperfine splittings of ground state Be+11 have been measured precisely by laser-microwave double resonance spectroscopy for trapped and laser cooled beryllium ions. The ions were produced at relativistic energies and subsequently slowed down and trapped at mK temperatures. The magnetic hyperfine structure constant of Be+11 was determined to be A11=-2677.302 988(72) MHz from the measuremen...
متن کاملTowards high precision measurements of nuclear g-factors for the Be isotopes
We describe the present status of future high-precision measurements of nuclear g-factors utilizing lasermicrowave double and laser-microwave-rf triple resonance methods for online-trapped, laser-cooled radioactive beryllium isotope ions. These methods have applicability to other suitably chosen isotopes and for beryllium show promise in deducing the hyperfine anomaly of Be with a sufficiently ...

A stable and accurate frequency standard based on the 40.5 GHz ground-state hyperfine transition in 199Hg1 ions is described. The ions are confined in a cryogenic linear Paul (rf ) trap and laser cooled to form a linear crystal. With seven ions and a Ramsey interrogation time of 100 s, the fractional frequency stability is 3.3 s2d 3 10213t21y2 for measurement times t , 2 h. The ground-state hyp...
متن کاملHigh-precision measurement of hyperfine structure in the D lines of alkali atoms
We have measured hyperfine structure in the first-excited P state (D lines) of all the naturally-occurring alkali atoms. We use high-resolution laser spectroscopy to resolve hyperfine transitions, and measure intervals by locking the frequency shift produced by an acousto-optic modulator to the difference between two transitions. In most cases, the hyperfine coupling constants derived from our ...
