Abstract
We report on the measurement of the magnetic moment of the ground state of 17Ne. Radioactive 17Ne nuclei were delivered from the high resolution mass separator at ISOLDE onto a high voltage platform at −200 kV and were polarized using the tilted foil polarization method. The polarized nuclei were implanted into a Pt stopper situated in a liquid-helium cooled β-NMR apparatus and the asymmetry destruction of the ensuing β rays was monitored as a function of the rf frequency applied to the polarized nuclei. The measured value of μ = 0.74 ± 0.03 affirms the nature of the ground state of 17Ne and is compared to shell model calculations.
