m Odd-A Nuclei and Isotope Shifts

In order to determine mean charge radii

- Calculate electronic factor and specific mass shift

- Use King plot to test calculations

- Proton g-factors of 213215Ac consistent with observed trend for spin 92

- Spin 32 for 225Ac only possibility according to observed hfs

- Spin 1 for 226Ac according to observed hfs

m Odd-A Nuclei and Isotope Shifts

In order to determine mean charge radii

- Calculate electronic factor and specific mass shift

- Use King plot to test calculations

- Proton g-factors of 213215Ac consistent with observed trend for spin 92

- Spin 32 for 225Ac only possibility according to observed hfs

- Spin 1 for 226Ac according to observed hfs
