Collinear Laser Spectroscopy (CLS) is a powerful tool for investigating nuclear ground state properties such as spin, electromagnetic moments, and the mean-square nuclear charge radius of exotic nuclei [1-3]. Phenomena, like the emergence of new magic numbers and the discovery of proton-emitting nuclei, occur far from stability, requiring researchers to push the limits of their techniques. In...
The hyperfine anomaly in atomic structure is sensitive to both the composition and radial distribution of nuclear magnetisation. Although this observable has been known of and measured since the 1950’s, precise measurements have been sporadic and largely limited to stable nuclei [1]. In the last few years, developments in the $\beta$-NMR technique have provided a level of precision at which...
The objective of the WISArD experiment is to test the existence of new physics in the weak interaction sector of the Standard Model of particle physics using beta decay. The angular correlation parameter a and the Fierz interference term b, which characterize beta decay, are sensitive to the existence of exotic scalar or tensor currents. These currents are not included in the description of...
Neutron deficient antimony isotopes provide an excellent study of nuclear structure around the doubly magic $^{100}$Sn (N=Z=50). With a single valence proton above the Z=50 Sn, Sb can be used as a rigorous test of the single particle shell model around this closed shell. Measuring the neutron deficient Sb isotopes allows for investigation into the robustness of the magic Z=50 core. Significant...
