Ground state electromagnetic moments of $^{53}$Fe

ORAL

Abstract

Nuclear structure studies around the $^{56}$Ni nucleus with $N$ = $Z$ = 28 are critical since $^{56}$Ni is considered to be a soft core. In this region of interest, the nuclear magnetic-dipole moment and the electric-quadrupole moment of $^{53}$Fe were determined for the first time. A novel scheme of projectile-fragmentation reactions followed by in-flight separation and gas stopping was used in the present study for laser spectroscopy. Details of the experiment and a comparison with shell model calculations will be presented.
