Dielectronic resonance method for measuring isotope shifts.

چکیده
Long standing problems in the comparison of very accurate hyperfine-shift measurements to theory were partly overcome by precise measurements on few-electron highly charged ions. Still the agreement between theory and experiment is unsatisfactory. In this Letter, we present a radically new way of precisely measuring hyperfine shifts, and demonstrate its effectiveness in the case of the hyperfine shift of 4s1/2 and 4p1/2 in 207Pb53+. It is based on the precise detection of dielectronic resonances that occur in electron-ion recombination at very low energy. This allows us to determine the hyperfine constant to around 0.6 meV accuracy which is on the order of 10%.

Isotope shift in the dielectronic recombination of three-electron ANd57+.
Isotope shifts in dielectronic recombination spectra were studied for Li-like (A)Nd(57+) ions with A=142 and A=150. From the displacement of resonance positions energy shifts deltaE(142 150)(2s-2p(1/2))=40.2(3)(6) meV [(stat)(sys)] and deltaE(142 150)(2s-2p(3/2))=42.3(12)(20) meV of 2s-2p(j) transitions were deduced. An evaluation of these values within a full QED treatment yields a change in t...
متن کاملProspect nuclids for first isotope shift experiments by means of dielectronic recombination
The measurement of isotopic shifts utilizing dielectronic recombination (DR) of very heavy few electron ions (nuclear charge Z > 50) is a very promising new approach for the investigation of nuclear properties. In particular if an s-core-electron is excited during the initial dielectronic capture (DC) process the large change in the overlap of atomic and nuclear wavefunctions leads to strong nu...
متن کاملIsotope Shift Measurements of Li-like Nd-Nd by Means of Dielectronic Recombination
As has been detailed in [1, 2], dielectronic recombination (DR) of few-electron heavy-ions is a promising novel approach to study nuclear properties like charge radii and hyperfine effects. Isotope shift measurements of highly charged ions by means of DR complement nicely optical (laser) spectroscopic techniques in neutral atoms or moderately charged ions since the interpretation of the energy ...
متن کاملDielectronic satellite spectra of heliumlike iron and nickel from the unified recombination method
It is shown that resonances in the unified recombination cross sections correspond directly to dielectronic satellite spectra. Positions, intensities, and profiles of satellite lines may be obtained accurately using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method and the unified theory of total electron-ion recombination. The intrinsic dielectronic resonance strength corresponding to autoionizing resonances is...
