Probing nuclear structure by the atomic spectroscopy
The atomic nucleus is fifteen orders of magnitude smaller then typical atomic volume. Nevertheless, precise atomic spectroscopy gives access to electromagnetic couplings of nuclei such as the charge radius, the polarizability and the magnetic moment. One may expect that these nuclear properties shall not depend on the atomic states or on the flavor of the atomic lepton. However, it is not the case, what may signal the presence of unknown physics. I will describe the current knowledge of the proton and deuteron charge radius determination and present recent results for the neutron- and proton-halo nuclei.
