Energies and lifetimes of the 9p and 10p excited states in atomic francium
P. Lassègues, A. Ajayakumar, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +29
We present the first measurement of 9p 2P1/2,3/2 and 10p 2P1/2,3/2 excited levels absolute wavenumbers and radiative lifetime in francium. We used the Collinear Resonance Ionizatio…
Observation of the distribution of nuclear magnetization in a molecule
S. G. Wilkins, S. M. Udrescu, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +33
Rapid progress in the experimental control and interrogation of molecules, combined with developments in precise calculations of their structure, are enabling new opportunities in…
Cr as a Doorway to the N = 40 Island of Inversion
L. Lalanne, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, D. D. Dao +24
This paper reports on the measurement of the ground-state spin and nuclear magnetic dipole moment of Cr. The radioactive ion beam was produced at the CERN-ISOLDE facility an…
Laser spectroscopy and CP-violation sensitivity of actinium monofluoride
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, M. Au, A. Kyuberis +39
The apparent invariance of the strong nuclear force under combined charge conjugation and parity (CP) remains an open question in modern physics. Precision experiments with heavy a…
Binding energies, charge radii, spins and moments: odd-odd Ag isotopes and discovery of a new isomer
B. van den Borne, M. Stryjczyk, R. P. de Groote +33
We report on the masses and hyperfine structure of ground and isomeric states in Ag isotopes, measured with the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique…
Ionization potential of radium monofluoride
S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43
The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
