Electromagnetic moments of neutron-rich nuclei measured with polarized radioactive ion beams

By taking advantage of spin polarized radioactive nuclear beams from projectile fragmentation, combined with the beta-detected nuclear magnetic resonance technique, the magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole moments were measured for a number of nuclei in the light, neutron-rich region. The obtained results show some intriguing systematical features which become apparent when compared with standard shell-model calculations, and thus seem to shed new light on the structure and interactions of nuclei in this region.
