Ground state magnetic dipole moment of {sup 35}K
/ Authors
/ Abstract
The ground state magnetic moment of {sup 35}K has been measured using the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance on {beta}-emitting nuclei. The short-lived {sup 35}K nuclei were produced following the reaction of a {sup 36}Ar primary beam of energy 150 MeV/nucleon incident on a Be target. The spin polarization of the {sup 35}K nuclei produced at 2 deg. relative to the normal primary beam axis was confirmed. Together with the mirror nucleus {sup 35}S, the measurement represents the heaviest T=3/2 mirror pair for which the spin expectation value has been obtained. A linear behavior of g{sub p} vs g{sub n} has been demonstrated for the T=3/2 known mirror moments and the slope and intercept are consistent with the previous analysis of T=1/2 mirror pairs.
