Magnetic dipole moment of 57,59Cu measured by in-gas-cell laser spectroscopy
Abstract
In-gas-cell laser spectroscopy study of the 57,59,63,65Cu isotopes has been performed for the first time using the 244.164 nm optical transition from the atomic ground state of copper. The nuclear magnetic dipole moments for 57,59,65Cu relative to that of 63Cu have been extracted. The new value for 57Cu of mu(57Cu) = +2.582(7)muN is in strong disagreement with the previous literature value but in good agreement with recent theoretical and systematic predictions.
