Velocity dependence of the transient hyperfine field at Pd ions swiftly recoiling through magnetized Fe

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The velocity dependence of the transient hyperfine magnetic field manifest at nuclei of /sup 108/Pd ions recoiling through magnetized Fe was investigated to a velocity higher than previously examined for the heavier nuclides. The state of interest (2/sup +//sub 1/) was populated by Coulomb excitation using beams of 80-MeV /sup 32/S and 180-MeV /sup 58/Ni ions and precessed ..gamma..-ray angular distribution measurements were carried out in coincidence with backscattered projectiles. These results, when combined with prior lower-velocity measurements for /sup 106/Pd, yield a transient field velocity dependence v/sup p/, p=0.41 +- 0.15, for Pd isotopes over the extended velocity range 1.74< or =< or =7.02 (v/sub 0/=c/137); a result incompatible with a linear velocity dependence.
