Abstract

The hyperfine structure splittings (hfs) and isotope shifts (IS) in the atomic transitions 5s 2 5p 2 1 S 0 → 5s 2 5p6s 1,3 P 1 have been measured for the radioactive isotopes108−111Sn and all stable ones. The tin isotopes were prepared as fast atomic beams for collinear laser spectroscopy at the GSI online mass separator following a fusion reaction. Nuclear spins, magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole moments and changes in mean square charge radii have been determined. In109Sn the spinI=5/2 was measured for the nuclear ground state (T 1/2=18 min) in contradiction to the literature value. The mean square charge radii show a parabolic behaviour with a maximum at N=66. This is interpreted by collective effects, which are considerably stronger than accounted for by theB(E2)-values.
