description

In this talk I will review optical pumping (OP) experiments performed by our group to ISOLDE, CERN, in a series of Hg isotopes spanning from mass number 181 to 205 (first results in refs. [1] and [2], final in refs. [3] and [4]. I will then discuss what impact these measurements had on nuclear structure research far off stability and how the results of the latter are retroacting again on the optical work. In particular they ask for isotope shifts (IS) of light even Hg isotopes which we are prepared to measure by laser spectroscopy. Further I would like to communicate briefly first results of optical pumping experiments on “exotic” Rb and Cs isotopes. Finally I will discuss plans for laser spectroscopy on fast mass-separated beams which might favourably be applied to isotopes far off stability.
