Abstract

Differences in mean-square nuclear charge radii of Cd100130 are extracted from high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy of the 5sS21/25pP23/2 transition of the ion and from the 5s5pP325s6sS31 transition in atomic Cd. The radii show a smooth parabolic behavior on top of a linear trend and a regular odd-even staggering across the almost complete sdgh shell. They serve as a first test for a recently established new Fayans functional and show a remarkably good agreement in the trend as well as in the total nuclear charge radius.
