138. Nuclear structure studies by collinear laser spectroscopy

Agi Koszorus (KU Leuven, SCK CEN)

2025-10-21, 10:30 a.m.

Ion traps and laser techniques

Oral invited talk

The study of radioactive isotopes is essential for deepening our understanding of the nuclear force, particularly in systems with extreme proton-to-neutron ratios. Efforts to unravel how collective phenomena emerge from complex many-body interactions continue to drive progress in nuclear and atomic theory, as well as in the techniques for producing and probing radioactive ion beams. Among...

73. Precision Spectroscopy of Heavy and Superheavy Elements with AETHER

Dr Erich Leistenschneider (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

2025-10-21, 11:00 a.m.

Ion traps and laser techniques

Oral contributed talk

Superheavy elements edge the limits of matter's existence. Their extreme proton content presents opportunities to explore fundamental questions across chemistry, atomic physics, and nuclear physics. For instance, we ponder how enhanced relativistic effects impact atomic structure and chemical properties, or how nuclear shell effects evolve under such extreme conditions. Yet, the journey to...

112. Doppler and sympathetic cooling for the investigation of short-lived radionuclides

Stephan Malbrunot-Ettenauer (TRIUMF)

2025-10-21, 11:20 a.m.

Ion traps and laser techniques

Oral contributed talk

Ever since its introduction in the mid 1970s, laser cooling has become a fundamental technique to prepare and control ions and atoms for a wide range of precision experiments. In the realm of rare isotope science, for instance, specific atom species of short-lived radionuclides have been laser-cooled for fundamental-symmetries studies [1] or for measurements of hyperfine-structure constants...

9. Towards trapping of fast radioactive ions

Stefanos Pelonis (KU Leuven)

2025-10-21, 11:40 a.m.

Ion traps and laser techniques

Oral contributed talk

To better understand key nuclear properties, tremendous effort has been put over the past decades into ab initio theoretical models [1], capable of reproducing experimental data with increasingly higher precision. Benchmarking these models requires precise measurements of key nuclear observables, among which electromagnetic moments and charge radii play complementary roles.

Measurements of...

11. Development of a high-resolution and high-sensitivity collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy system

Mr Hanrui Hu (Peking University)

Ion traps and laser techniques

Oral contributed talk

Nuclear properties are closely connected to nuclear structure and nucleon-nucleon interactions, making them essential for exploring various novel phenomena that emerge in exotic nuclei. Laser spectroscopy is a powerful technique for investigating nuclear properties of unstable nuclei by probing the hyperfine structure (HFS) of their surrounding electrons. Such HFS effect contributes only about...
