Charge radii and moments of strontium nuclei by laser spectroscopy

The isotope shifts and hyperfine splittings for 11 strontium isotopes (A=80–90) and two isomers for the optical transition λ=293.2 nm were measured. The magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments and the changes of the mean square charge radii are derived. The results are discussed with respect to the increasing nuclear deformation and the anomalous coupling scheme of light Sr nuclei.
