Ground-state magnetic moments of 30Al and 32Al were measured
with the β-NMR method using radioactive-isotope beams spin-polarized in the projectile-fragmentation
reaction. Polarization of sizes |P|=0.5–1% were obtained in spite of the large numbers of nucleons
that are removed from the projectile 40Ar, providing a promising prospect that
substantial polarizations are obtained even in fragment nuclei that are far removed from the projectile nucleus.
The obtained μ moments, |μexp(30Al)|=3.010(7) μN
and |μexp(32Al)|=1.959(9) μN, are in agreement with
shell model calculations within the sd valence space, although a reduction in the energy-gap between
the sd and pf states is predicted for 32Al in recent theoretical studies.
