Charge radii and nuclear moments around132Sn

Abstract Laser spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on the very neutron-rich tin isotopes with the COMPLIS experimental setup. Using the 5s 2 5p 2 3 P 0 → 5s 2 5p6s 3 P 1 optical transition, hyperfine spectra of 126–132 Sn and 125 m ,127 m ,129 m –131 m Sn where recorded for the first time. The variation of the mean square charge radius ( δ 〈 r 2 〉 ) between these nuclei and the nuclear moments of the isomers and the odd isotopes were thus measured. From the quadrupole moments values, all these nuclei appear to be spherical. The experimental magnetic moments are thus compared with the Schmidt values calculations. Moreover, the measured δ 〈 r 2 〉 are compared with several mean field calculations.
