Abstract: We report on the g factor measurement of the isomeric state (, ) in the neutron-rich 126Sn nucleus. The nucleus was produced by the fission of a relativistic 238U beam and reaction products were selected by the FRS fragment separator at GSI. For the first time, spin-alignment was observed after relativistic fission. It was used to deduce the g factor of the isomeric state, , from the measured perturbed angular distribution of its γ decay using the RISING Cluster detectors. The observed value confirms the suggested dominant configuration, which has been proposed for the isomers in neutron-rich Sn isotopes. The failure of the g factor additivity rule and the importance of core polarization evolution with increasing distance from the doubly-magic 132Sn is discussed. The first observation of 18(8)% of spin-alignment produced by the relativistic fission of a 238U beam paves the way to study moments of neutron-rich (sub-)microsecond isomers, which are difficult to align by other means.
