New techniques of hyperfine spectroscopy
Physics Today 34 (2), 26–33 (1981);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2914433
High‐resolution atomic spectra can give us detailed information about unstable nuclei, including angular momenta, electric and magnetic multipole moments and variation in charge radii as a function of neutron number
Superconducting electronics
Physics Today 34 (2), 36–47 (1981);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2914434
The extraordinary performance of Josephson‐junction circuits for scientific measurements, and the suitability of similar circuits for large scale integrated electronics, presage the emergence of a new technology.
Laser spectroscopy on‐line with nuclear accelerators
Physics Today 34 (2), 48–55 (1981);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2914435
Studies of the hyperfine structure and isotope shifts performed immediately after short‐lived beta‐unstable isotopes are formed in a high‐energy collision yield rich data on the properties of nuclei.
