Magnetic Hyperfine Structure of theP13andP23Metastable States ofSn115,117,119

The magnetic hfs of the metastable ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ and ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P_2^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ states has been examined in the stable odd-$A$ isotopes ${\mathrm{Sn}}^{115,117,119}$. The interaction constant $a\left({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}\right)$ is found to have the values +507.445(4), +552.608(4), and +578.296(4) Mc/sec in the isotopes ${\mathrm{Sn}}^{115}$, ${\mathrm{Sn}}^{117}$, and ${\mathrm{Sn}}^{119}$, respectively. It is also found that $a\left({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P_2^{}{}_{}{}^{}\right)$ has the values -1113.770(4), -1212.956(3), and -1269.419(3) Mc/sec for the same isotopes. The results are compared with the theory. Values of the hyperfine anomalies are also given.
