The mean-square charge radii of $^{207,208}$Hg have been studied by the application of in-source resonance ionization laser spectroscopy, employing the ISOLDE-RILIS together with the Windmill detector and the ISOLTRAP MR-ToF MS. The characteristic kink in the charge radii at the N = 126 neutron shell closure has been revealed, providing the first information on its behavior below Z = 82. This work was conducted as part of an experimental campaign which also investigated the neutron deficient end of the mercury isotope chain.
A theoretical analysis has been performed within relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov and non-relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approaches, considering both the new mercury results and existing lead data. Contrary to previous interpretations, it is demonstrated that both the kink at N = 126 and the odd-even staggering (OES) in its vicinity can be defined predominately at the mean-field level.
