Abstract The hyperfine structure splittings of the 4s 2 S 1/2 → 4p 2 P 1/2, 3/2 transitions in43CaII have been measured by fast ion beam collinear laser spectroscopy. The resonant laser interaction was observed using non-optical detection based on optical ground state depopulation pumping, state selective neutralization and charge state separated particle counting. The extracted magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants for43CaA(2 S 1/2)=−805(2) MHz,A(2 P 1/2)=−145.5(1.0) MHz andA(2 P 3/2)=−31.9(0.2) MHz are in excellent agreement with relativistic many body perturbation theory predictions available for this alkali-like ion. The combined results are used to evaluate the semi-empirical analysis method. From the electrical quadrupole hyperfine structure constantB(2 P 3/2)=−6.7(1.4) MHz and the calculatedB/Q value for this one valence electron configuration, the nuclear quadrupole momentQ(43Ca)=−0.043(9)b is derived. This result supports a previous evaluation based on the hyperfine structure of the two valence electron3 P configurations of CaI.
