Experimental Determination of the Nuclear Magnetic Octupole Moment of 137Ba

This thesis describes the measurement of the nuclear magnetic octupole moment of ¹³⁷Ba. The measurement utilizes rf spectroscopy and optical shelving to chart the hyperfine structure of meta-stable 5D states in ¹³⁷Ba and provided the most precise value of the nuclear magnetic octupole moment in any atom to date.
