Abstract
For the first time, in-gas-cell laser spectroscopy study of the isotopes has been performed using the 244.164 nm optical transition from the atomic ground state of copper. The nuclear magnetic dipole moments for relative to that of have been extracted. The new value for of is in strong disagreement with the previous literature value but in good agreement with recent theoretical and systematic predictions.

Lasers light up some magnetic moments
Published 31 August 2009
A laser spectroscopy technique that has helped resolve a puzzle about the structure of could prove useful in studying other exotic, short-lived nuclei.
