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.
