  3. Fr physical motivation • 218,219Fr both exhibit alternating parity bands [1,2] which are generally associated with the presence of octupole deformations [3]. • The observed inversion of odd-even staggering of charge radii for 221-225Fr [4] has been associated with octupole deformations.

  28. Relative mean-square charge radii • The large theoretical errors stem from the calculated uncertainties for the Field and mass shift constants for Ra [9,10] [4] A. Cocet al., Phys.Lett. 163B, 66 (1985), [8] K. Wendt et al., Z. Phys. D 4, 227 (1987), [9] V.A. Dzubaet al., Phys.Rev. A 72, 022503 (2005), [10] L.W. Wansbeeket al., Phys.Rev. C 86, 015503 (2012)

  31. Relative mean-square charge radii • Inverted odd even staggering for 221-225Fr (N=135-138) and 221-226Ra (N=133-138) • Our results for δν(219,229Fr) will add the points for D(N; δν) (220,228Fr) (N=133,141) to this plot [4] A. Cocet al., Phys.Lett. 163B, 66 (1985). [8] K. Wendt et al., Z. Phys. D 4, 227 (1987), [11] A. Coc et al., Nuclear Physics A468 (1987) 1

  32. 220-228 Fr interpretations from literature • The spin sequence for 220,222,224,226,228Fr was reproduced by [13] including octupole deformations. • Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of 224,226,228Fr were qualitatively well reproduced by [14] without octupole deformations • 223Fr was studied by [15] and they concluded the experimental data agreed with the theoretical predictions of a reflection asymmetric rotor model. • [16] concluded octupole correlations do play a role in 225 Fr, but there is no stable deformation. • 227Fr is considered to be a transitional nucleus [17] [13] RK Sheline.

  36. Conclusions • Collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy was used to measure the hyperfine structure of the 218m,219,229,231Fr isotopes. • The extracted magnetic dipole moments and relative mean-square charge radii will provide information about the nuclear structure of these isotopes, lying on the borders of the region of reflection asymmetry.

  37. Conclusions • The isotope shifts will show if these isotopes do exhibit inverted odd-even staggering, which has been associated with the presence of reflection-asymmetric nuclear shapes. • The magnetic dipole moments will provide information of the orbital occupancy of the valence nucleons. • Information about the nuclear spin for 229,231Fr may be attained.

  45. Parity mixing • The pairing plus multipolehamiltonian • where the first term on the right-hand side is the spherical shell-model potential, the second term represents a long-range separable multipole-multipole force generating the collective motion, Hpairis the pairing Hamiltonian, and j stands for the set of quantum numbers (n, l ,j). • Qλµis the multiple operator • and fλ(r) is the radial form factor

  46. Parity mixing • A coupling between single-particle states of opposite parity is produced by the octupole-octupole (λ=3) residual interaction. • The necessary condition for the presence of low-energy octupole collectivity is the existence, near the Fermi level, of pairs of orbitals strongly coupled by the octupole interaction. • For normally deformed systems the condition for strong octupole coupling is satisfied for particle numbers associated with the maximum ΔN=1 interaction between the intruder subshell (l ,j) and the normal-paritysubshell (l - 3, j - 3)
