Resonance Ionization Mass Spectroscopy for Trace Analysis

1990

My first lecture at this Summer School on Applied Laser Spectroscopy dealt with the determination of nuclear ground-state properties, i.e. atomic mass M, the nuclear spin I, the magnetic dipole moment μ I, the spectroscopic quadrupole moment Q, and the changes in the mean-square charge radius δ(r2) A,A´ between isotopes with mass number A and A´. These quantities can be determined for stable, long-, or short-lived isotopes by mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy. In the latter case, the hyperfine structure (HFS) and the volume effect of the isotope shift (IS) are determined in atomic levels or optical transitions. The state of the art mainly concerning short-lived nuclei is described …

High-Resolution Spectroscopy in Fast Atomic Beams

1977

Narrow optical resonances have been observed in fast beams of Na and Cs atoms, obtained from ion beams by charge-transfer collisions with Na, K, or Cs. Corresponding to the narrowing of the velocity distribution, occurring by acceleration, the Doppler width along the beam direction is considerably reduced [1, 2].

From radop to laser spectroscopy and back

1985

The paper reviews some techniques in optical spectroscopy of short-lived nuclei, their results regarding nuclear moments and isotopic shift, and their relation to the work of Professor K. Sugimoto.

Development of resonance ionization in a supersonic gas-jet for studies of short-lived and long-lived radioactive nuclei

2013

High-resolution resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) is required for laser spectroscopy and trace analysis of short-lived and long-lived radioactive nuclei. We have proposed high-resolution resonance ionization spectroscopy in a gas jet combined with a narrow band-width injection-locked Ti:Sapphire laser. Resonance ionization of stable 93Nb in a gas jet was demonstrated using a broad bandwidth Ti:Sapphire laser. In addition, a setup for high-resolution RIS in a gas-jet was designed using numerical simulations of the gas-jet conditions based on computational fluid dynamics.

Laser Spectroscopy of Short-Lived Isotopes in Fast Atomic Beams and Resonance Cells

1979

The introduction of laser techniques to optical spectroscopy of hyperfine structure (HFS) and isotope shift (IS) has put new life into this field at the intersection between atomic and nuclear physics which is now about fifty years old. Two severe limitations of classical spectroscopy could be reduced drastically, i.e., (i) the amount of atoms needed for optical spectroscopy and (ii) the Doppler width of optical lines. The increase in sensitivity went together with the development of powerful accelerators or reactors so that exotic nuclei with half lives down to 10 msec can now be produced and optically analysed. The increase in resolution allows the determination of nuclear spins, nuclear …

Nuclear Ground-State Properties from Laser and Mass Spectroscopy

1990

Atomic physics played an important role in establishing our present-day knowledge on the atomic nucleus. Especially mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy were the main sources of information on nuclear properties in the early days of nuclear physics. Still now, precise information on nuclear masses (or binding energies) are obtained by mass spectrometry whereas mass differences between two isotopes are usually determined by nuclear-spectroscopy techniques via a determination of the Q-value of nuclear reactions or decay. Almost all our information on the nuclear spins I, the nuclear magnetic dipole moment μ I, the spectroscopic quadrupole moment Q, and the changes in the mean-square cha…

Developments for resonance ionization laser spectroscopy of the heaviest elements at SHIP

2016

Abstract The experimental determination of atomic levels and the first ionization potential of the heaviest elements ( Z ⩾ 100 ) is key to challenge theoretical predictions and to reveal changes in the atomic shell structure. These elements are only artificially produced in complete-fusion evaporation reactions at on-line facilities such as the GSI in Darmstadt at a rate of, at most, a few atoms per second. Hence, highly sensitive spectroscopic methods are required. Laser spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and valuable tools to investigate atomic properties. In combination with a buffer-gas filled stopping cell, the Radiation Detected Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (RADRIS) techniq…
