Nuclear spins of the isomers 191m−185m^{191m-185m}Hg determined by on-line quantum-beat spectroscopy

The nuclear spins of the very neutron-deficient /sup 191m-185m/Hg isomers were measured on line at the mass separator ISOLIDE at CERN using pulsed-laser excitation and observation of the time-resolved quantum beats from selected hyperfine-structure states. The spins of these isomers are with I=13/2 equal to those of the long-lived isomers /sup 199m-193m/Hg already known. The persistence of this spin value for eight isomers is explained by the model of rotation-aligned coupling. (12 refs)

Determination of the isotope shift of 190^{190}Hg by on-line laser

By use of a pulsed tunable dye laser the isotope shift of (T/sub 1/2 /=20 min) /sup 190/Hg in the 6s/sup 2/ /sup 1/S/sub 0/-6s6p/sup 3/P /sub 1/, lambda =2537 AA line has been measured at the on-line mass separator ISOLDE/CERN. The preliminary result relative to /sup 204/Hg is IS/sup 204/190/=31.8(3) GHz. (15 refs)
