Abstract

We have been developing a novel laser spectroscopy method-“OROCHI” for radioisotopes trapped in superfluid helium. This new method is expected to determine nuclear spins and moments of exotic nuclei by precise measurement of Zeeman and hyperfine splitting of atoms using laser double resonance method. Its feasibility has been confirmed by means of a series of experiments with various stable atoms in superfluid helium, while the accuracy of experimental results is found strongly affected by external magnetic field. In order to obtain reliable and accurate results for atomic spectra with “OROCHI” method, based on laser RF double resonance spectroscopy of on-line experiment, we performed off-line test experiments for \(^{85,87}\)Rb in helium buffer gas. In this test experiment, we used three mutually orthogonal coils to effectively compensate for laboratory residual magnetic field and subsequently observed precise laser RF double resonance spectra of atoms which affords us accurate nuclear spin value. By comparison of those results, we could make clear the effect of residual magnetic field on experimental results. The details of “OROCHI” method and test experiments are presented.
