  2. Measurement of Nuclear Moments Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  3. g-Factor • Current loop produces a magnetic dipole moment m = iA/c • Moving charge loop has a moment • m = (e/T)* pr2/c= evr/2c = (e/2mc) ħ • There is a similar equation for the internal charges in a proton due to its intrinsic spin • Total magnetic moment contribution due to protons in a nucleus m =gl + gss • Neutrons can only contribute due to the spin T We have gl = mN gs = 5.5857 mN for proton gl = 0 gs = -3.8256 mN for neutron Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  4. Schmidt Values • The magnetic moment of a nucleus is defined as the expectation value of m along the spin direction J • For a single independent nucleon this is calculated to be • Substituting j =   s and s =1/2 we get • for j= l + 1/2 • for j = l - 1/2 Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  5. Schmidt values Odd N Odd Z Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  6. Deviations for Schmidt Values • For near closed-shell nuclei deviations arise due to motion of the odd nucleon affecting the charge distribution in the core • Intrinsic moments affected by nuclear medium • velocity dependent spin-orbit term introduces a correction • Excitation of the core : coupling to vibrational states • Truncated model space in shell-model calculations • The 'empirical' g-factors that reproduce the observed g-factors in s-d and f-p shell nuclei are : • gs = 0.75 gsbare glπ= 1.1 µN glν = − 0.1 µN NPA694(2000)157 Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  7. Deformed Nuclei • For deformed nuclei, [NnZLW] orbitals are not pure single particle wave functions but admixtures of different -values • Measurement of g-factor is a sensitive test of the wave function • g-factor of the levels in a band is given by : • Intrinsic g-factor is given in terms of the single particle configurations • Rotational g-factor Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006

  10. Measurement of g-factor • A nucleus with magnetic moment m will precess in an external magnetic field B with the Larmor frequency wL In fusion reaction, the nuclear spin is preferentially oriented perpendicular to the beam direction, leading to an anisotropy in angular distribution The effect of precession of the spin in the external field is to rotate the angular distribution in time t by an angle Dq = wLt Level with mean life time t will rotate by wLt Lecture VI SERC-6 School March 13 - April 2,2006
