  18. Experimental Program for Island of Inversion • Goal: • map the island of inversion and investigate the transition from the ‘normal’ region into the island • Determine properties of ground states and excited states: • energies, spins, E.M. moments, deformation, occupations, ... • Experimental access: • Coulomb excitation  transition moments, deformation • beta-decay studies  spins/parities • magnetic moments, g-factors  wave function, Ip • quadrupole moments  static deformations • reaction studies  orbital angular momenta, spectroscopic factors R.

  23. Structure of 31Mg COLLAPS • From laser spectroscopy: • Ground state is 1/2+ state • Must be intruder dominated • Next step: •  Check structure of excited states R. Krücken - XVth UK Postgraduate School in Nuclear Physics – Lecture 2

  24. The COLLAPS set-up at ISOLDE Collinear Laser Spectroscopy • Mg+ ions are polarized through optical Zeeman pumping  nuclei are polarized • rotate polarization and implant ions into MgO crystal in strong magnetic field • scan of hyperfine structure by tuning ion velocity at fixed laser wavelength • HF resonances are observed via beta decay asymmetry of polarized 31Mg • Hyperfine structure allows for spin determination • g-factor is measured via beta-NMR: • RF Field at the Lamor frequency will resonantly destroy polarization and thus beta-asymmetry •  Scan RF frequency and measure beta-asymmetry R.
