To To measure nuclear nuclear moments need need spin-polarized polarized beams beams In-flight projectile fragments LISE-GANIL Spin-orientation from the reaction process and in-flight selection procedure - typically about 10-15 % orientation (polarized or aligned beam) - all elements Isotope Separation On-Line ISOLDE-CERN Spin-orientation from resonant interaction between 60 kev radioactive beam and a circularly polarized laser beam - typically about 10-% polarization - only particular elements (Li, Be, Na, Mg, ) Last 3 years systematic study of the orientation process - in projectile fragmentation - in nucleon pick-up reactions now very well understood!

CONCLUSIONS AND AND OUTLOOK 32 33 34 A CONSISTENT INTERPRETATION OF ALL MOMENTS IS NEEDED (1) The g-factor of 35 Si supports sub-shell closure at Z=14 doubly-magic 34 Si (2) The g-factor of 33,34 suggest mixing of 2p-2h configurations in their ground state (3) The g-factor (and spin) of Mg can be understood as a pure intruder ground state. The transition from normal nuclei to the island of inversion occurs gradually, both in N and Z Moments are very sensitive to this.
CONCLUSIONS AND AND OUTLOOK What can we do with β-nmr at SPIRAL2? - nuclei not accessible via fragmentation e.g. very neutron rich near 78 Ni, 132 Sn MAIN PROBLEM: contamination of isobars beam purity of 80% needed!!!! Polarize nuclei via optical pumping with resonant laser beam (not all elements) Hyperfine structure provides moments as well! (not all elements) BUT β-nmr can be applied to beams of 1000/s (sensitive method) AND combination of both leads to direct spin measurement
