Quadrupole moment of 107Agm determined by level mixing resonance on oriented nuclei.

Abstract

The quadrupole moment ratio of $^{107}\mathrm{Ag}^{\mathrm{m}}$ to $^{109}\mathrm{Ag}^{\mathrm{m}}$ has been determined as Q(${}^{107}$${\mathrm{Ag}}^{\mathrm{m}}$)/Q(${\mathrm{}}^{109}$Ag $^{\mathrm{m}}$)=0.960(10) with the level mixing resonance on oriented nuclei technique. Using the previously established electric field gradient of silver in zinc, Q${(\mathrm{}}^{107}$${\mathrm{Ag}}^{\mathrm{m}}$)=0.98(11) b has been deduced. The results are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.
