Abstract

The electric quadrupole moment Q for the ground state of 32Al has been measured using the β-NMR technique. Spin-polarized 32Al nuclei were obtained from the fragmentation of 40Ar projectiles at E/A = 95 MeV/nucleon, and were implanted in a single crystal α-Al 2O3 stopper. The quadrupole moment was deduced from the measured quadrupole coupling constant. The obtained value, Q( 32Alg.s.) = 24(2) mb, was well reproduced by shell model calculations within the sd shell, indicating that 32Al is a normal sd-shell nucleus. The result is in sharp contrast to the strongly deformed nuclei 32Mg and 31Mg neighboring the 32Al isotope.
