Absolute nuclear charge radius by Na-like spectral line separation in high-Z elements
Abstract We describe a novel technique to determine absolute nuclear radii of high- Z nuclides. Utilizing accurate theoretical atomic structure calculations together with precise measurements of extreme ultraviolet transitions in highly charged ions this method allows for precise determinations of absolute nuclear charge radii based upon the well-known nuclear radii of their neighboring elements. This method can work for elements without stable isotopes, and its accuracy may be competitive with current methods (electron scattering and muonic x-ray spectroscopy).
