Nuclear moments ofAgm102andAgg106

Abstract

On-line atomic-beam-magnetic-resonance experiments at the Princeton cyclotron were used to measure the magnetic hyperfine structure transitions involving the isomeric state of $^{102}\mathrm{Ag} ({T}_{\frac{1}{2}}=8 min, I=2)$ and the ground state of $^{106}\mathrm{Ag} ({T}_{\frac{1}{2}}=24 \mathrm{s}, I=6)$. The radioactive nuclei were formed by a ($p,n$) reaction on palladium inside the oven of the atomic beam apparatus. The values of magnetic dipole interaction constant are $A(102)=15060\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}900$ MHz and $A(106)=20345\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}600$ MHz. From these measurements we infer the values of the nuclear magnetic dipole moments to be $\ensuremath{\mu}(102)=+(4.12\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.25){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{N}$ and $\ensuremath{\mu}(106)=+(2.83\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{N}$.[NUCLEAR MOMENTS $^{102}\mathrm{Ag}^{m}$, $^{106}\mathrm{Ag}^{g}$; measured $a$, ${g}_{I}$; deduced ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{I}$.
