Abstract

A molecular beam -optical double resonance experiment was performed on 87 in its naturally occurring abundance ration. Numereous magnetic dipole allowed transitions between $ρ$ -doubles in the $X 2 Σ +$ state were measured to an accuracy of - 3 kHz. The observed spectra were analyzed in terms of an effective Hamiltonian which includes the magnetic hyperfine and electric quadropole interactions arising from the $87 S r (1=9 / 2)$ and $9 F (1=1 / 2)$ nuclei. The extracted spectroscopic hyperfine parameters were interpreted in terms of a simple molecular orbital picture for the electronic nature of the $X 2 Σ +$ state. A comaprison is made to previous results for the more aboundant 86 SrF and 88 SrF isotopic forms
