Hyperfine structure and isotope shift of 3.5-hHg193by a Zeeman-scanned optical-pumping method

Determination of the isotope shift of115m Cd by a Zeeman scanning method

“…The linearly polarized light then induced an alignment of the 115mCd 1S o ground state. By orienting the static field H o at 45 ~ to the incoming light we were able to use the same beam for both pumping and monitoring, as was done in our previous experiments [1,21]. The difference is that here an alignment was produced, rather than an orientation.…”

“…Since the atomic vapor is contained in a closed resonance vessel, one can work with extremely small samples of volatile elements. Hence the method is well suited to the study of IS of radioisotopes and has thus far been applied to the case of 3.5-hour ~93Hg, in which an optical detection system was used [1], and to the online study of extremely short-lived mercury isotopes where the detection scheme used fl-and ?-radiation asymmetries [2][3][4][5].…”

Determination of spin, magnetic moment and isotopic shift of neutron rich205Hg by optical pumping

“…given in col. 5 of Table 2. The problem of odd-even staggering was attacked by Reehal and Sorensen [34], who related it to changes in nuclear deformation between even and odd isotopes in the framework of the "pairing plus quadrupole model" Whereas qualitative agreement with experiment is found in general, the theory cannot produce odd-even staggering in heavy Hg isotopes, since these are spherical (see also [35]). …”
