Abstract

Very high resolution measurements of hyperfine structure on the P(13) and R(15), 43-0, 3gp0+u1Σg+ transitions in iodine 127 were made using laser molecular beam spectroscopy. The observed linewidth was 300 kHz (fwhm) giving a resolution of 5 × 10-10 The observed spectrum was fitted to obtain a quadrupole coupling strength difference of ΔeQq = 1906 ± 2 MHz and a spin rotation interaction strength difference of ΔCI = 181 ± 7 kHz between the upper and lower levels of the P(13) transition. For the R (15) transition ΔeQq = 1905 ± 2 MHz and ΔCI = 167 ± 5 kHz.
