Abstract

The hyperfine interaction of excited nuclear levels with deeply ionized atoms is discussed. A measurement is reported for 18O(2+) at 1.98 MeV, interacting with 7+ ions in the 1s state. Limits for the g factor of this level are reported as: 0.2< mod g mod <0.36. The excitation pattern of highly stripped ions is considered and it is concluded that such ions are formed in two distinct patterns, one characterized by predominant ground state occupation and the other by prolific excitation. The feature which determines the pattern is the degree of isolation of the ground state of the ions.
