Description

Laser spectroscopy has been performed on isotopes of gallium at ISOLDE. This work reports the first use of ISCOOL (a gas-filled linear Paul trap) for new laser spectroscopic experiments. Ground state nuclear spin values, magnetic dipole moments, electric quadrupole moments and mean-square charge radii have been extracted for isotope masses in the range A = 67 − 82. An inversion of ground state spin is observed between 79Ga (I = 3/2) and 81Ga (I = 5/2), and an anomalous spin of I = 1/2 for 73Ga.
