The measurement of the ground-state hyperfine-structure transition in heavy ions provides an outstanding test case for the electromagnetic interaction in a combination of strong electric and magnetic fields.
Using a new bunched-beam technique in the GSI
heavy-ion storage ring (ESR), we performed precision laser spectroscopy on relativistic heavy ions in the hitherto inaccessible infrared optical region . We determined the wavelength of the M1-transition between the F = 1 (τ≈ 50 ms) and F = 0
hyperfine states of the 1s ground state of hydrogen-like
207Pb81+. The measured value of
1019.7(2) nm is compared with the very recent theoretical predictions.
A discrepancy of 5 nm is found. Because the
nucleus of
207Pb81+ is well described by the single-particle shell
model, uncertainties in corrections due to nuclear effects are expected to be small.
As a result, these uncertainties are a less persuasive explanation of
the disagreement between experiment and theory than was the case for
measurements of the hydrogen-like 209Bi82+.
