First nuclear moment measurement with radioactive beams by the recoil-in-vacuum technique: the g factor of the 2+1 state in 132Te.
Following Coulomb excitation of the radioactive ion beam (RIB) 132Te at HRIBF we report the first use of the recoil-in-vacuum (RIV) method to determine the g factor of the 2(+)(1) state: g(973.9 keV 2(+) 132Te) = (+)0.35(5). The advantages offered by the RIV method in the context of RIBs and modern detector arrays are discussed.
