Hyperfine Anomaly

Abstract

A summary is given of an IAEA Consultancy Meeting on Evaluation of Nuclear Moments which was held from 27 to 30 March 2017 at the IAEA,Vienna. Participants reviewed the current status of measurements and methods applied to extract the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the nucleus, and discussed the corrections necessary to obtain a set of consistent data for evaluation. Agreement on the treatment of diamagnetism, hyperfine anomaly, time-dependent measurements of short-lived states and the electric field gradient for quadrupole moments was reached and a plan of action for producing a table of recommended best values was adopted.
