Abstract
This proposal aims to measure the nuclear ground-state spins, moments and
mean-square charge radii of 56−71Ni using collinear laser spectroscopy. This will enable
direct measurements of isotopes in the region of shell closure (56Ni), structural change
(68Ni) and monopole migration (beyond N = 40). Optical spectroscopy serves as a
detailed probe not only of the changing single-particle behaviour, but also for the study
of collective properties such as size and shape. Measurements of the most neutron-rich
isotopes available at ISOLDE will critically test models which seek to extrapolate the
data to the doubly magic region of 78Ni.
