Abstract
The hfs of has been investigated by the atomic-beam magnetic-resonance technique. The atoms were detected with an electron-bombardment universal detector. Novel counting techniques made possible observation of resonances for which the signal-to-background ratio was 0.0002. The magnetic-dipole hyperfine-interaction constant was measured to be Mc/sec and the electric-quadrupole hyperfine-interaction constant was found to be consistent with . These results are compared with the theory. From the measured value of , the average magnetic field at the nucleus is calculated to be 1.03× G within about 1%.
