Description

For the first time, we obtained the g factor for the ground state of 23Al by use of a β-NMR measurement. 23Al has a small proton separation energy and is a potential proton-halo candidate. The obtained g factor, vertical bar g vertical bar =1.557±0.088, clearly shows the spin and parity, Jπ=5/2+, for 23Al, which is the same as that of its mirror partner, 23Ne. The possible nuclear structure of 23Al is also discussed
