Using isotope shift for testing nuclear theory: The case of nobelium isotopes
Abstract
We calculate field isotope shifts for nobelium atoms using nuclear charge distributions which come from different nuclear models.We demonstrate that comparing calculated isotope shifts with experiment can serve as a testing ground for nuclear theories. It also provides a way of extracting parameters of nuclear charge distribution beyond nuclear root mean square (rms) radius, e.g., parameter of quadrupole deformation β. The measurements of at least two atomic transitions is needed to disentangle the contributions of the changes in deformation and nuclear rms radius into field isotopic shift. We argue that a previous interpretation of the isotope measurements in terms of δ < r2 > between 252,254No isotopes should be amended when nuclear deformation is taken into account. As a result, we calculate isotope shifts for other known isotopes and for hypothetically metastable isotope 286No for which the predictions of nuclear models differ substantially.
