Fast switching NMR system for measurements of ground-state quadrupole moments of short-lived nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
A β-ray detecting nuclear quadrupole resonance system has been developed at NSCL/MSU to measure ground-state electric quadrupole moments of short-lived nuclei produced as fast rare isotope beams. This system enables quick and sequential application of multiple transition frequencies over a wide range. Fast switching between variable capacitors in resonance circuits ensures sufficient power delivery to the coil in the β-ray detecting nuclear magnetic resonance technique. The fast switching technique enhances detection efficiency of resonance signals and is espePreprint submitted to Elsevier 11 February 2008 cially useful when the polarization and/or production rate of the nucleus of interest are small and when the nuclear spin is large.

متن کاملDevelopments in the Measurement of Spin-polarized Fragments Using Β-nmr at the Nscl
The measurement of ground state magnetic dipole moments of nuclei far from the line of β stability can provide much needed information on the progression of single-particle states to test current nuclear structure models. Since the observation by Asahi et al. [1] that spin-polarized nuclei are produced at angles away from the central beam axis in intermediate-energy heavy-ion reactions, signifi...
متن کاملEffect of nuclear quadrupole moment on parity nonconservation in atoms
Nuclei with spin I ≥ 1 have a weak quadrupole moment which leads to tensor contribution to the parity non-conserving interaction between nuclei and electrons. We calculate this contribution for Yb, Fr and Ra and found it to be small. In contrast, in many lanthanides (e.g., Nd, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Pr, Sm) and Ra close levels of opposite parity lead to strong enhancement of the effect making it suffi...
متن کاملSelective and Non-selective Nmr Excitation of Quadrupolar Nuclei in the Solid State
Spectral intensities of quadrupolar nuclei and the radiofrequency (rf) pulse lengths for selective and non-selective excitation of any single-quantum NMR transition in the solid state are calculated. When nuclei of the same element occupy sites which experience different electric field gradients, the spectra are quantitatively reliable only when the length of the rf pulse is much smaller than n...
متن کاملElectron-Gamma PAC: New Possibilities for NQI Studies
The application of hyperfine interaction techniques to problems in solid state physics has been steadily growing over the last decade with the use of radioactive ion beam facilities such as ISOLDE at CERN. New applications of the e~-y Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) technique are underway at ISOLDE using probe nuclei with highly converted cascades. In this paper we present the motivation fo...
