Title: g factor of the J/sup. pi. / = 25/2/sup +/ isomer in /sup 205/Tl and the anomalous orbital magnetism of the proton

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The nuclear gyromagnetic ratio of the 3291-keV J/sup ..pi../ = 25/2/sup +/ /sup 205/Tl level has been measured with use of ..gamma..-ray perturbed angular distribution techniques with the result g = 0.544 +- 0.008. The state was populated with the reaction /sup 204/Hg(t,2n)/sup 205/Tl. With use of the known quantities g(/sup 206/Pb 7/sup -/; E/sub x/ = 2200 keV) and g(/sup 209/Bi 9/2/sup +/; E/sub x/ = 0 keV) the proton orbital magnetic g factor for the 1h orbital was deduced to be g/sub 1/ = 1.115 +- 0.02. This result has been corrected for wave-function admixtures and core polarization effects.
