Search for scalar leptons in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV
2002
A search for selectron, smuon and stau pair production is performed with the data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. The numbers of candidate events are consistent with the background predicted by the Standard Model. Final mass limits from ALEPH are reported.
First measurement of radioisotopes by collinear laser spectroscopy at an ion-guide separator
1997
The first successful application of an ion-guide separator (IGISOL) for collinear laser spectroscopy of radioisotopes has achieved an efficiency comparable with the best obtained with catcher-ionizer facilities. The ion beam energy spread was determined to be less than 6 eV, allowing laser fluorescence resonance signals for the Ba-140,Ba-142,Ba-144 radioisotopes to be detected with high resolution and sensitivity. Applications of this technique to measuring nuclear properties of refractory elements and short lived isomers promises to be particularly advantageous.
Quadrupole moments and mean-square charge radii in the bismuth isotope chain
1997
Abstract Isotope shifts and hyperfine structures of the 205,206,208,210,210m,212,213 Bi isotopes have been studied on the 306.7 nm line using gas cell laser spectroscopy. The neutron-rich isotopes are the first isotones of Pb to be measured immediately above the N = 126 shell closure. The ground state quadrupole moments of the even- N isotopes increase as neutrons are added or removed from the N = 126 shell, but no corresponding increase is observed in the charge radii.
Nuclear moments and charge radii of bismuth isotopes
2000
Isotope shifts and hyperfine structures have been measured on the 306.7 nm line in bismuth isotopes with A = 205-210, 210m, 212 and 213 by gas cell laser spectroscopy. More precise measurements were made for the A = 207-209 isotopes in atomic beam measurements. Nuclear magnetic and quadrupole moments were deduced. A detailed comparison of the nuclear charge radii systematics has been made in the region using a King plot technique.
First collinear laser spectroscopy measurements of radioisotopes from an IGISOL ion source
1997
Abstract The standard Doppler-free technique of collinear laser spectroscopy has been successfully applied to radioisotopes from the ion-guide isotope separator (IGISOL) at the University of Jyvaskyla. The laser resonance fluorescence signals for the 140,142,144 Ba radioisotopes show that the ion beam energy spread is less than 6 eV, allowing the laser technique to have both high resolution and a sensitivity comparable with the best obtained at conventional facilities.
