Laser spectroscopic hyperfine structure measurements of 51V as a test of a new parametrization of the hyperfine structure

The hyperfine structure (HFS) of the four high lying and metastable fine structure levels of vanadium-51 have been calculated. The calculations are based on the parametrization of one- and two-body interactions to the second order perturbation theory for a model space of the three configurations 3d3+M4sM (M=0,1,2). The experimental HFS data were measured using the laser spectroscopic double-resonance technique (ABMR-LIRF) with high-frequency precision. (orig.)
