Abstract

Abstract: Magnetic dipole transitions in nuclei can offer crucial information on nuclear structure, e.g., on spin-flip processes or on nuclear charge currents. Driven by the need for more comprehensive or more precise data on M 1 transitions in nuclei, we have recently tried to advance pre-existing experimental methods to meet the present needs. This contribution reports on the current status of our efforts on three aspects: (i) access of spin-flip M 1 strength in radioactive nuclei, (ii) quadrupole-collectivity of the M 1 scissors mode, and (iii) highest- precision measurements for strong ground-state M 1 excitations.
