Ion traps & laser techniques II
- Ryan Ringle (FRIB/Michigan State University)
Over the past 15 years, Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight (MR-ToF) devices have established themselves as indispensable instruments for mass measurements and mass separation of short-lived radionuclides at radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities. Within the MIRACLS collaboration at ISOLDE/CERN, we have expanded the use of MR-ToF devices, adapting them for highly sensitive collinear laser...
Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics re- quire new and innovative probes to push experimental sensitivities past their current limits. Francium silver (FrAg) is a designer molecule that offers en- hanced sensitivity to new physics, in particular to time-reversal violation inside the atomic nucleus when incorporating the octuple-deformed 223Fr isotope. As...
In the last decade, the collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy (CRIS) technique [1,2] has proven to be a powerful tool for investigating atomic and nuclear properties of exotic nuclei across the nuclear chart [3,4,5]. CRIS stands out through its combination of conventional collinear resonance spectroscopy with resonance ionization, enabling the extraction of high-resolution data on...
The ISOLTRAP mass spectrometry program at ISOLDE has pioneering many developments over the past decades, the most recent being the combination of precision time-of-flight mass spectrometry and in-source laser-ionization scanning to obtain the hyperfine structure of the isotope of interest.
First developed using sensitive alpha spectroscopy, the successful in-source spectroscopy technique...
