The ground-state spins and magnetic moments of $^{49,51}$K have been measured using bunched-beam high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE-CERN. For $^{49}$K a ground-state spin $I = 1/2$ was firmly established. The observed hyperfine structure of $^{51}$K requires a spin $I > 1/2$ and from its magnetic moment $mu(^{51}text{K})= +0.5129(22), mu_N$ a spin/parity $I^pi=3/2^+$ with a dominant $pi 1d_{3/2}^{-1}$ hole configuration was deduced. This establishes for the first time the re-inversion of the single-particle levels and illustrates the prominent role of the residual monopole interaction for single-particle levels and shell evolution.

The FSU $spsdfp$ cross-shell interaction for the shell model was successfully fitted to a wide range of mostly intruder negative parity states of the $sd$ shell nuclei. This paper reports the application of the FSU interaction to systematically trace out the relative positions of the effective single-particle energies of the $0f_{7/2}$ and $1p_{3/2}$ orbitals, the evolution from normally ordered low-lying states to the Island of Inversion (IoI), and the behavior of a wide range of excited states with a $0f_{7/2}$ proton and neutron coupled to maximum spin of $7 hbar$. Above a proton number of about 13 the $0f_{7/2}$ orbital lies below that of $1p_{3/2}$, which is considered normal ordering, but systematically at $Z = 10$ to $12$ the orbitals cross. The calculations reproduce well the 2p2h - 0p0h inversion in the configurations of nuclei inside the IoI, they reproduce the absolute binding energies and the transition to normal ordering as the proton number approaches that of the neutrons. The important role of $1p_{3/2}$ neutron pairs in the IoI is also demonstrated. The calculations account well for the energies of the fully aligned states with 0, 1, or 2 individual $sd$ nucleon aligned in spin with the aligned $pi 0f_{7/2}$ - $ u 0f_{7/2}$ pair and reproduce well their systematic variation with $A$ and number of aligned $sd$ nucleons. The results presented in this paper give hope for the predictive power of the FSU interaction for more exotic nuclei to be explored in near future.
A survey of the available single-proton data in $Aleq17$ nuclei, along with calculations using a Woods-Saxon potential, show that the ordering of the $0d_{5/2}$ and $1s_{1/2}$ proton orbitals are determined primarily by the proximity of the $s$-state proton energy to the Coulomb barrier. This is analogous to the dependence of the corresponding neutron orbitals in proximity to the neutron threshold, that was previously discussed.
Measurements of the ground-state nuclear spins, magnetic and quadrupole moments of the copper isotopes from 61Cu up to 75Cu are reported. The experiments were performed at the ISOLDE facility, using the technique of collinear laser spectroscopy. The trend in the magnetic moments between the N=28 and N=50 shell closures is reasonably reproduced by large-scale shell-model calculations starting from a 56Ni core. The quadrupole moments reveal a strong polarization of the underlying Ni core when the neutron shell is opened, which is however strongly reduced at N=40 due to the parity change between the $pf$ and $g$ orbits. No enhanced core polarization is seen beyond N=40. Deviations between measured and calculated moments are attributed to the softness of the 56Ni core and weakening of the Z=28 and N=28 shell gaps.
We report on the results of the E06-014 experiment performed at Jefferson Lab in Hall A, where a precision measurement of the twist-3 matrix element $d_2$ of the neutron ($d_{2}^{n}$) was conducted. This quantity represents the average color Lorentz force a struck quark experiences in a deep inelastic electron scattering event off a neutron due to its interaction with the hadronizing remnants. This color force was determined from a linear combination of the third moments of the spin structure functions $g_1$ and $g_2$ on $^{3}$He after nuclear corrections had been applied to these moments. The kinematics included two average $Q^{2}$ bins of $3.2$ GeV$^{2}$ and $4.3$ GeV$^{2}$, and Bjorken-$x$ $0.25 leq x leq 0.90$ covering the DIS and resonance regions. We found $d_2^n$ to be small and negative for $<Q^{2}> = 3.2$ GeV$^{2}$, and smaller for $<Q^{2}> = 4.3$ GeV$^{2}$, consistent with a lattice QCD calculation. The twist-4 matrix element $f_{2}^{n}$ was extracted by combining our $d_{2}^{n}$ with the world data on $Gamma_{1}^{n} = int_{0}^{1} g_{1}^{n} dx$. We found $f_{2}^{n}$ to be roughly an order of magnitude larger than $d_{2}^{n}$. Utilizing the extracted $d_{2}^{n}$ and $f_{2}^{n}$ data, we separated the color force into its electric and magnetic components, $F_{E}^{y,n}$ and $F_{B}^{y,n}$, and found them to be equal and opposite in magnitude, in agreement with instanton model predictions but not with those from QCD sum rules. Additionally, we have extracted the neutron virtual photon-nucleon asymmetry $A_{1}^{n}$, the structure function ratio $g_{1}^{n}/F_{1}^{n}$, and the quark ratios $(Delta u + Delta bar{u})/(u + bar{u})$ and $(Delta d + Delta bar{d})/(d + bar{d})$. These results were found to be consistent with DIS world data and with the prediction of the constituent quark model but at odds with those of perturbative QCD at large $x$.
Collinear laser spectroscopy has been performed on the $^{79}_{30}$Zn$_{49}$ isotope at ISOLDE-CERN. The existence of a long-lived isomer with a few hundred milliseconds half-life was confirmed, and the nuclear spins and moments of the ground and isomeric states in $^{79}$Zn as well as the isomer shift were measured. From the observed hyperfine structures, spins $I = 9/2$ and $I = 1/2$ are firmly assigned to the ground and isomeric states. The magnetic moment $mu$ ($^{79}$Zn) = $-$1.1866(10) $mu_{rm{N}}$, confirms the spin-parity $9/2^{+}$ with a $ u g_{9/2}^{-1}$ shell-model configuration, in excellent agreement with the prediction from large scale shell-model theories. The magnetic moment $mu$ ($^{79m}$Zn) = $-$1.0180(12) $mu_{rm{N}}$ supports a positive parity for the isomer, with a wave function dominated by a 2h-1p neutron excitation across the $N = 50$ shell gap. The large isomer shift reveals an increase of the intruder isomer mean square charge radius with respect to that of the ground state: $delta langle r^{2}_{c}rangle^{79,79m}$ = +0.204(6) fm$^{2}$, providing first evidence of shape coexistence.
