Collinear laser spectroscopy of high-energy Li-like11B beam
As part of the RIKEN RIBF (RI beam factory) program, high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy for highly-charged radioactive isotope beams, is proposed in order to make a systematic study of the mean-square nuclear charge radii and moments of short lived radioactive isotopes far from the line of stability. To examine the feasibility of the experiment, we are now performing a test experiment using a laser beam and Li-like ion beams from RIKEN ring cyclotron. The D1 resonance line of a 11B2+ beam was clearly observed for the first time.
SPARC experiments at the high-energy storage ring
The physics program of the SPARC collaboration at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) focuses on the study of collision phenomena in strong and even extreme electromagnetic fields and on the fundamental interactions between electrons and heavy nuclei up to bare uranium. Here we give a short overview on the challenging physics opportunities of the high-energy storage ring at FAIR for future experiments with heavy-ion beams at relativistic energies with particular emphasis on the basic beam properties to be expected.
