Title: Systematics of radii and nuclear charge distributions induced from elastic electron scattering, muonic x-ray, and optical isotope-shift measurements

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6134438

The nuclear charge distribution and nuclear charge distribution differences have been investigated by 350 MeV elastic electron scattering at the Institut fuer Kernphysik, Universitaet Mainz. Muonix x-ray measurements yield complementary information to electron scattering results. Both experimental data are analyzed in an almost model independent way. Muonic x-ray measurements have been performed for the region /sup 40/Ca up to /sup 100/Mo. Muonic x-ray transition energies allow the determination of one radial parameter R/sub k/ - the Barrett radius - with high precision. This Barrett radius combined with the charge distribution from elastic electron scattering yields the following precise radial parameters /sup 1/2/, /sup 1/4/ and <4/sup 6/>/sup 1/6/. With the abolute values of these radial moments, it is possible to determine the two optical constants: the electron density at the nucleus and the specific mass shift.
