Large Odd-even Radius Staggering In The Very Light Platinum Isotopes From Laser Spectroscopy

Laser spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on very-neutron-deficient platinum isotopes with the COMPLIS experimental setup. Using the ${5d}^{9}{6s}^{3}{D}_{3}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{5d}^{9}{6p}^{3}{P}_{2}$ optical transition, hyperfine spectra of ${}^{182,181,180,179,178}\mathrm{Pt}$ and ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m}$ were recorded for the first time. The variation of the mean square charge radius between these nuclei, the magnetic moments of the odd isotopes, and the quadrupole moment of ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m}$ were thus measured. A large deformation change between ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{g}$ and ${}^{183}{\mathrm{Pt}}^{m},$ an odd-even staggering of the charge radius, and a d…

Partial Laser Cooling and Saturation Spectroscopy on 9 MeV 7Li+ - Ions in a Storage Ring

Publisher Summary Laser cooling and spectroscopy in traps have reached impressive perfections. This chapter discusses laser cooling and partially Doppler-suppressed spectroscopy on stored ions at 5.4% speed of light in the test storage ring (TSR) heavy ion storage ring in Heidelberg. It discusses the requirements for saturation spectroscpy with two counterpropagating collinear laser beams. In contrast to Penning and RF-traps, the ions in a storage ring move at a high longitudinal velocity with small transverse harmonic oscillations around the central orbit with just a few times the orbiting frequency in the case of strong focussing. However, the injection of the high velocity beam introduce…

Nuclear Moments and Deformation Change inA184ug,mfrom Laser Spectroscopy

Resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) was performed on desorbed Au, and the complete hyperfine spectrum of both isomeric and ground states of the short lived 184Au nucleus has been recorded from the 5d106s S1y2 ! 5d106p P3y2 optical transition. The nuclear moments of both states and the mean square charge radius changes were measured. The magnetic moments were determined to be m 184g I­5 ­ 12.07s2dmN and m I­2 ­ 11.44s2dmN and the spectroscopic quadrupole moments to be Q 184g s ­ 14.65s26db and Q184m s ­ 11.90s16d b. A difference in the mean square charge radius dkr2 c l184g,184m ­ 20.036s3d fm2 was found. [S0031-9007(97)03992-6]

First laser cooling of relativistic ions in a storage ring

The first successful laser cooling of ions at relativistic energies was observed at the Heidelberg TSR storage ring. A $^{7}\mathrm{Li}^{+}$-ion beam of 13.3 MeV was oberlapped with resonant copropagating and counterpropagating laser beams. The metastable ions were cooled from 260 K to a longitudinal temperature of below 3 K and decelerated by several keV. The longitudinal velocity distribution was determined by a fluorescence method. After laser cooling a strongly enhanced narrow peak appeared in the Schottky noise spectrum in addition to the uncooled ion distribution.

First experiments with the heidelberg test storage ring TSR

Abstract The Heidelberg heavy ion test storage ring TSR started operation in May 1988. The lifetimes of the ion beams observed in the first experiments can be explained by interactions with the residual gas. Multiple Coulomb scattering, single Coulomb scattering, electron capture and electron stripping are the relevant processes. Electron cooling of ions as heavy as O 8+ has been observed for the first time. With increasing particle number, the longitudinal Schottky noise spectrum becomes dominated by collective waves for cooled beams, allowing a determination of velocities of sound. After correcting for these coherent distortions fo the Schottky spectrum, the longitudinal beam temperature …
