Experimental and theoretical studies of hyperfine structures in $^{21}$Na
We measured the hyperfine structure constants, $A(3s^2S_{1/2})$ and $A(3p^2P_{1/2})$, of the neutron-deficient isotope $^{21}\text{Na}$ using CLaSsy, a setup dedicated to collinear laser spectroscopy at RAON. The hyperfine structure constants of $^{21}\text{Na}$ were measured to be $103.6(10)_{\mathrm{stat}}(9)_{\mathrm{syst}}$ MHz for $A(3p^2P_{1/2})$ and $954.9(11)_{\mathrm{stat}}(25)_{\mathrm{syst}}$ MHz for $A(3s^2S_{1/2})$. A systematic comparison with the state-of-the-art ab-initio relativistic coupled cluster calculations shows the role of higher-order correlation effects such as triple excitations in $^{21}$Na. Furthermore, the measurement demonstrates a capability of the CLaSsy setup to conduct collinear laser spectroscopy experiments with a radioactive beam.
