Determination of theg j -factor in the72 P 3/2-state of133Cs by optical double resonance in a strong magnetic field

The hfs in the 7² P _3/2-state of¹³³Cs has been investigated by optical double resonance in a strong magnetic field. From the positions of the magnetic dipole transitions Δm _j =± 1, Δm _i =0 the magnetic hfs coupling con slanta (7² P _3/2)=16.591(25) MHz and theg _j -factorg _j (7² P _3/2)=1.33410(15) could be derived. Contrarily to recent measurements,g _j agrees well with the value calculated from the Lande formula.
