Abstract: (IOP)
The quadrupole moment of light nuclei17F in the ground state (Iπ= 5/2+) is measured by the β–NMR method. The effective charge of the last proton in a d5/2orbit for17F is extracted from the measured quadrupole momentQ(17F) divided by the quadrupole momentQspcalculated with a single particle model. A proton effective charge ofeeffp= 1.12 ± 0.07eis obtained, which is in agreement with that given by a particle–vibration coupling model calculation within the experimental error. The present value of the proton effective charge is strong evidence for the existence of a proton skin in17F (Iπ= 5/2+).
