Description

A rotation of the angular correlation of deexcitation γ rays from 40Ca and 44Ca was observed in a tilted foil geometry. The signs and magnitudes of the magnetic moments of the 21+ level of 44Ca and of the 31- level of 40Ca were determined to be g = -0.28 +- 0.11 and g = +0.52 +- 0.18, respectively. The experiment demonstrates that polarization of deeply bound electronic configurations can be appreciable and that this technique can be used as a quantitative measure of magnetic moments of picosecond nuclear levels
