NEED FOR REMEASUREMENTS OF NUCLEAR MAGNETIC DIPOLE-MOMENTS

The need for a reassessment of nuclear magnetic dipole moments is prom pted by recent experiments on the ground-state hyperfine structure in highly charged hydrogenlike systems which are sufficiently sensitive t o probe QED effects. This work gives an overview of the magnetic dipol e moments for the nuclei of interest, i.e., Ho-165, Re-185,Re-187, Tl- 203,Tl-205, Pb-207, and Bi-209. It is found that the present uncertain ties in the nuclear magnetic dipole moment limit the interpretation of the accurate experimental hyperfine structures for these systems.
