Abstract

We measured Zeeman effect of atomic uranium spectra using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy, and derived the J-value and g-factor of the second step levels. J-values and g-factors of high lying odd levels could be obtained. These data, especially the g-factors, have almost been unknown so far. We could verify our method which can be useful to measure J-values and g-factors of high lying levels of complex atoms like uranium.
