Die Hyperfeinstrukturaufspaltung des Grundzustandes2 S 1/2 und das magnetische Kerndipolmoment von Au197

The hyperfine structure of the groundstate 6s ² S _1/2 and the nuclear magnetic dipole moment of gold 197 have been studied by the atomic beam magnetic resonance technique. A special high frequency arrangement is described. The hyperfine structure separationΔ v was determined fromΔF=1 transitions. The magnetic dipole momentμ _I was measured by a direct method. The experiments yield the following results:Δv (²S_1/2)=(6099,309±0,010) Mc/secμ _I (Au¹⁹⁷)=+(0,1445±0,0014)μ _K.
