Calculation of Francium Hyperfine Anomaly

Abstract The Dirac–Hartree–Fock plus many-body perturbation theory (DHF + MBPT) method has been used to calculate hyperfine structure constants for Fr. Calculated hyperfine structure anomaly for hydrogen-like ion is in good agreement with analytical expressions. It has been shown that the ratio of the anomalies for s and p 1 / 2 states is weakly dependent on the principal quantum number. Finally, we estimate Bohr–Weisskopf corrections for several Fr isotopes. Our results may be used to improve experimental accuracy for the nuclear g factors of short-lived isotopes. View Full-Tex
