Polarization creation in proton-rich 28P via charge exchange reactions and measurement of its electric quadrupole moment

The degrees of polarization of proton rich nucleus 28P produced in charge exchange reactions 28Si + 9Be → 28P + X, and 28Si + 1H → 28P + X have been observed at 100A MeV. Utilizing thus obtained polarized nuclei, the magnetic moment of 28P was remeasured, and |μ(28P)| = 0.3115 (34) μN was obtained. β-nuclear quadrupole resonance (β-NQR) of 28P implanted in α-Al2O3 have been observed for the first time, in order to measure the electric quadrupole moment of this nucleus.
