AI中文摘要：
原子核是强关联量子多体系统，其壳层结构如何随中子过剩增加而演化是核物理学的核心开放问题。钙同位素是理想的研究对象：除了传统的幻数N=20、28，已有研究提出N=32、34（对应⁵²Ca、⁵⁴Ca）存在新的壳层闭合。尽管电荷半径向N=32快速上升，但由于同位素链中相关核素的产额极低（每秒仅几个离子），进一步的矩和半径测量一直无法实现。本研究采用高灵敏度共线激光光谱技术，揭示了极为简单的行为：向⁵²Ca添加1个中子得到的⁵³Ca具有纯单粒子磁偶极矩，而向⁵⁴Ca方向的电荷半径斜率超过向⁵²Ca方向的斜率。这为N=32壳层闭合的稳健性提供了有力证据，并严格约束了核结构模型。
英文摘要：
Atomic nuclei are strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, and how their shell structure evolves with increasing neutron excess remains a central open question in nuclear physics. Calcium isotopes are an ideal testing ground: alongside the traditional magic numbers $N=20,28$, new shell closures have been proposed at $N=32,34$ ($^{52,54}\mathrm{Ca}$). While the charge radius rises rapidly towards $N=32$, further moments and radii in the isotopic chain have remained inaccessible due to the low production yield of a few ions per second. Here we apply a highly sensitive collinear laser spectroscopy technique, which reveals a strikingly simple behaviour: adding one neutron to $^{52}\mathrm{Ca}$ yields a pure single-particle magnetic dipole moment in $^{53}\mathrm{Ca}$, while the charge-radius slope towards $^{54}\mathrm{Ca}$ exceeds that towards $^{52}\mathrm{Ca}$. This provides strong evidence for a robust $N=32$ shell closure and stringently constrains nuclear structure models.
