Abstract
Isotope shifts in dielectronic recombination spectra were studied for Li-like ANd57+ ions with A = 142 and A = 150. From the displacement of resonance positions energy shifts δE142 150(2s-2p1/2) = 40.2(3)(6) meV [(stat)(sys)] and δE142 150(2s - 2p3/2) = 42.3(12)(20)meV of 2s - 2pj transitions were deduced. An evaluation of these values within a full QED treatment yields a change in the mean-square charge radius of 142 150δ⟨ r2⟩ = -1.36(1)(3) fm2. The approach is conceptually new and combines the advantage of a simple atomic structure with high sensitivity to nuclear size.
